Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour charges of mechanic A = $95

Per hour charges of mechanic B = $75

Total hours worked = 20

Total amount charged = $1800

Let,

x represent the number of hours of mechanic A

y represent the number of hours of mechanic B

According to given statement;

x+y=20          Eqn 1

95x+75y=1800   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 95

95(x+y=20)\\95x+95y=1900\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(95x+95y)-(95x+75y)=1900-1800\\95x+95y-95x-75y=100\\20y=100

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{100}{20}\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=20\\x=20-5\\x=15

Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Given a quadratic function in vertex form:
Alja [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

A vertical stretch takes place when a\cdot f(x) given that  |a| > 1

<u>Part B</u>

A vertical compression takes place when a\cdot f(x) given that 0 < |a| < 1

<u>Part C</u>

A vertical stretch is different than a horizontal compression:

  • In a vertical stretch, the input stays the same, but the output is multiplied by the scale factor
  • In a horizontal compression, the output stays the same, but the input is multiplied by the scale factor

<u>Part D</u>

A reflection across the x-axis means that the output, our y-variable, is the opposite sign. This means that all values of a must be negative such that a\cdot f(x) as mentioned in parts A and B. Also, in part C, since our scale factor is negative, the output is the only one being multiplied by the scale factor.

Find the values of x, y and z from the given parallelograms.<br>please help please it's a request ​
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  (ii) (x, y, z) = (110°, 30°, 30°)

  (iii) (x, y, z) = (110°, 70°, 70°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The things you need to know and use are ...

  Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

  Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

  Alternate interior angles between a transversal and parallel lines are congruent.

  Corresponding angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines are congruent.

__

(ii) Angles B and D are opposite, so congruent:

  x = 110°

Angle DAB is supplementary to angle B, so is 70°. That means z is ...

  z = 70° -40° = 30°

Angle y is "alternate interior" relative to z, so is congruent to z:

  y = 30°

__

(iii) Angle x is adjacent to angle N, so is supplementary to 70°.

  x = 180° -70° = 110°

Angle y is opposite angle N, so is congruent.

  y = 70°

Angle z is corresponding to angle N, so is congruent. (It is also "alternate interior" with respect to angle y, so is congruent to y.)

  z = 70°
