Answer:

  • first mechanic: $105/hour
  • second mechanic: $55/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the rate charged by the first mechanic. Then 160-r is the rate charged by the second mechanic. The total of charges is ...

  20r +5(160-r) = 2375

  15r +800 = 2375 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15r = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 800

  r = 105 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15. First mechanic's rate.

  160-r = 55 . . . . . Second mechanic's rate

The first mechanic charged $105 per hour; the second, $55 per hour.

Answer: the rate charged per hour by the first mechanic is 105 per hour.

the rate charged per hour by the second mechanic is 55 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate charged per hour by the first mechanic.

Let y represent the rate charged per hour by the second mechanic.

The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of 2375. This means that

20x + 5y = 2375 - - - - - - - - - - -1

if the sum of the two rates was 160 per hour, it means that

x + y = 160

Substituting x = 160 - y into equation 1, it becomes.

20(160 - y) + 5y = 2375

3200 - 20y + 5y = 2375

- 20y + 5y = 2375 - 3200

- 15y = - 825

y = - 825/ - 15

y = 55

x = 160 - y = 160 - 55

x = 105

Based on the data given in the picture, calculate the area of the car track...
Verizon [17]

Refer to the diagram below. We need to find the areas of the green and blue regions, then subtract to get the area of the orange track only.

The larger green region is composed of a rectangle of dimensions 200 meters by 4+42+4 = 50 meters, along with two semicircles that combine to make a full circle. This circle has radius 25 meters.

The green rectangle has area 200*50 = 10000 square meters. The green semicircles combine to form an area of pi*r^2 = pi*25^2 = 625pi square meters. In total, the full green area is 10000+625pi square meters. I'm leaving things in terms of pi for now. The approximation will come later.

The blue area is the same story, but smaller dimensions. The blue rectangle has dimensions 200 meters by 42 meters, so its area is 200*42 = 8400 square meters. The blue semicircular pieces combine to a circle with area pi*r^2 = pi*21^2 = 441pi square meters. In total, the blue region has area 8400+441pi square meters.

After we figure out the green and blue areas, we subtract to get the orange region's area, which is the area of the track only.

orange area = (green) - (blue)

track area = (10000+625pi) - (8400+441pi)

track area = 10000+625pi - 8400-441pi

track area = (10000-8400) + (625pi - 441pi)

track area = 184pi + 1600 is the exact area in terms of pi

track area = 2178.05304826052 is the approximate area when you use the pi constant built into your calculator. If you use pi = 3.14 instead, then you'll get 2177.76 as the approximate answer. I think its better to use the more accurate version of pi. Of course, be sure to listen/follow your teachers instructions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 3 = 4

so find the point 1/4 of the way from (-1, 2) to (7, 8)

x coordinate

Δx = ¼(7 - (-1)) = 2

x = x₀ + Δx

x = -1 + 2 = 1

y coordinate

Δy =  ¼(8 - 2) = 1½

y = y₀ + Δy

y = 2 + 1½ = 3½

(1, 3½)
