Kate worked for 50 hours, Dave worked for 65 hours and Sarah

worked for 45 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Three siblings- Kate, Sarah, and Dave- committed themselves to

volunteer 160 hours for a homeless charity to build new housing

1. Dave worked 15 hours more than Kate

2. Sarah worked 5 hours fewer than Kate

3. The total hours for them is 160 hours

Assume that Kate worked for x hours

∵ Kate worked for x hours

∵ Dave worked 15 hours more than Kate

∴ Dave worked for x + 15 hours

∵ Sarah worked 5 hours fewer than Kate

∴ Sarah worked x - 5 hours

∵ They worked for 160 hours

- Add the number of worked hours of them and equate the sum

  by 160

∴ x + x + 15 + x - 5 = 160

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 3x + 10 = 160

- Subtract 10 from both sides

∴ 3x = 150

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 50 hours

∵ Kate worked for x hours

∴ Kate worked for 50 hours

∵ Dave worked for x + 15 hours

∴ Dave worked for 50 + 15 = 65 hours

∵ Sarah worked for x - 5 hours

∴ Sarah worked for 50 - 5 = 45 hours

Kate worked for 50 hours, Dave worked for 65 hours and Sarah

worked for 45 hours

Colt1911 [192]

It is given in the question that

You work at a T-shirt printing business. Of 1,300 T-shirts shipped, 106 are imperfect.

So out  of 1300 T-shirts, number of perfect t-shirts are

1300-106=1194

So probability that the t-shirt is printed correctly is

= \frac{1194}{1300}=0.92

And to find the percentage, we have to multiply it by 100, and on doing so we will get 92 % .

Find the equation of the line through (6,4) and (-3,-8)
alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 4/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the equation of a line with 2 points, we use the slope formula which is:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we will use (6,4) as x_1[tex] and [tex]y_1 and we will use (-3,-8) as x_2[tex] and [tex]y_2. we plug this into the slope formula:

\frac{-8-4}{-3-6}

-8 - 4 = -12

-3 - 6 = -9

the slope is \frac{-12}{-9}

but we can simplify this further by dividing the fraction by -3

-12 / -3 = 4

-9 / -3 = 3

the simplified version of the slope is \frac{4}{3}

we can write this in slope-intercept form which is y =mx + b, with b being the y intercept and m being the slope

y = 4/3x + b <--- we need to solve for <em>b</em> in order to find the y intercept, so substitute x & y for a point on the line, we can use any point we are given, but for this example i will use (6,4)

4 = 4/3(6) + b < multiply 4/3 x 6

4 = 8 + b < subtract 8 from both sides

-4 = b

our y intercept would be (0,-4)

the equation looks like the following:

y = 4/3x - 4, which is our answer
