Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)
mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1
and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2
together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.
20x + 5y = 1150
the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.
x + y = 95
which means
x = 95 - y
plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.
20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150
solve for y
1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr
Now use this to solve for x
x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr
mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr
Here: (Aₓ, Ay) = (-3,-4), (Bₓ, By) = (-7,0), (Cₓ, Cy) = (-3, 4)
Now, Formula of area of triangle is:
area = [Aₓ(By - Cy) + Bₓ(Cy - Ay) + Cₓ(Ay - By)] / 2
Substitute the values in to the expression,
area = [-3(0-4) - 7(-4-(-4)) - 3(-4-0)] / 2
area = [-3(-4) -7(0) -3(-4)] / 2
area = [12-0+12] / 2
area = 24 / 2
area = 12
Final answer would be 12 units.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
8x+y
Explanation:
3x+4y+5x-3y
Rearrange the terms so like terms are next to each other
3x+5x+4y-3y
Combine like terms
8x+y
I hope this helps!
