Answer:
-3/7 > b
Step-by-step explanation:
2/7> b+5/7
Subtract 5/7 from each side
2/7-5/7> b+5/7-5/7
-3/7 > b
Answer:
Coordinate of Point A is (-11, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
M -- (-3, 7)
B -- (5, -1)
Therefore, (5 + x)/2 = -3
x = -11
(-1 + y)/2 = 7
y = 15
Therefore Point A is (-11, 15)
To see how much she saved, you multiply 24.90 x 10 ÷ 100 (or to simplify it 24.90 ÷ 10) you should get 2.49, which you subtract from the original and get $22.41
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/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
