Answer:

The system of equation to find the length of service call is \left \{ {{y=50 +36x} \atop {y =35 +39x}} \right..

The length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount is 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the 'x' represents number of hours of labor.

Also Let the 'y' represent the Total charge.

For Business A:

Fixed charge = $50

Charge of labor for each hour = $36

Amount of total charge is the sum of fixed charge and charge of labor for each hour multiplied number of hours of labor

framing in equation form, we get;

y=50 +36x \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

For Business B:

Fixed charge = $35

Charge of labor for each hour = $39

Amount of total charge is the sum of fixed charge and charge of labor for each hour multiplied number of hours of labor

framing in equation form, we get;

y =35 +39x \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Hence The system of equation to find the length of service call is \left \{ {{y=50 +36x} \atop {y =35 +39x}} \right..

Now to find the length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount, we will make both the equation equal we get;

50+36x=35+39x

Now we solve the equation,

Combining the like terms, we get;

50-35=39x-36x\\\\15=3x

Dividing both side by '3' using division property, we get;

\frac{15}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}\\\\5=x

Hence The length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount is 5 hours.

A) Find the distance of line segment PR. Round answer to the nearest tenth. B) Find the distance around the park (perimeter).
juin [17]

Answer:

A. PR = 80.6 yd

B. Perimeter = 190.6 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Distance between P(10, 50) and R(80, 10):

PR = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

PR = \sqrt{(80 - 10)^2 + (10 - 50)^2}

PR = \sqrt{(70)^2 + (-40)^2}

PR = \sqrt{4,900 + 1,600}

PR = \sqrt{6,500}

PR = 80.6 yd (nearest tenth)

B. Distance around the park = Perimeter = PR + PQ + QR

PR = 80.6 yd

PQ = |50 - 10| = 40 yd

QR = |80 - 10| = 70 yd

Perimeter = 80.6 + 40 + 70

Perimeter = 190.6 yd

Vanessa has scored 45 32 and 37 are three math quizzes she will take one more quiz and she wants a quiz average of at least 40 w
dedylja [7]
She must at least score a 38
To get the average you need to add 45 + 32 + 37 together than divide it by the amount of numbers added, in this case 3. 

45 + 32 + 37 = 114
114÷3 = 38
