Answer:

equation = 590 + 15x = 545 + 20x

No. of hours worked = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both worked for same number of hours

and

Jeremy worked for for x hours

it meant that Hector also worked for x hours(it is also mentioned same in the problem)

now that we know the number of hours worked in form of x

lets find

total money in their account if they worked for x hours

___________________________________________

For Hector

Money in Hector's account = $590

Earning for Hector in 1 hour = $15

Earning for Hector in x hour = x*Earning for Hector in 1 hour = $15x

Total money in with Hector after x hours of work

 = Money in Hector's account + Earning for Hector in x hour = $590 + $15x

Similarly

For Jeremy

Money in Jeremys account = $545

Earning for Jeremy in 1 hour = $20

Earning for Jeremy in x hour = x*Earning for Jeremy in 1 hour = $20x

Total money in with Jeremy after x hours of work

 = Money in Jeremy's account + Earning for Jeremy in x hour = $545 + $20x

Given that they same amount of money

thus

$590 + $15x = $545 + $20x

$sign gets cancelled from both sides

590 + 15x = 545 + 20x  Thus, we got the required equation  

=> 590 - 545 = 20x - 15x

=> 45 = 5x

=> x = 45/5 = 9

Thus, both of them worked for 9 hours

Three high school basketball teams measured the heights of all of their basketball players: The Derby Dragons have a mean height
sweet [91]

Answer:

The Ballwin Bears are taller on average, and the Aviston Aces have players whose heights are more consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

for derby dragon;

mean height = 72 inches

standard deviation = 1.2 inches

for aviston aces:

mean height = 70.8

standard deviation = 0.7 inches

for balwin bears;

mean height = 73 inches

standard deviation = 1.0 inches

the mean height of aviston aces < mean height of derby < mean height of balwin bears

So on average the balwin bears are taller.

The standard deviation of derby dragon is > that of balwin bears > aviston aces.

So the more consistent height is that of aviston aces players.
