Answer:

Luke : 7 hours

Joshua : 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you don't know how many hours both of them worked, you can use any variables, but I'm comfortable with x for houts. So as of right now, you have 35x +25x = 345. However, because we know Luke worked 3 more hours than Joshua, you can change 35x into 35(x+3). So, your equation should look like this: 35(x+3) +25x = 345. Finally, you can solve it. Distribute 35 into x + 3 to get 35x +105 +25x = 345. Combine like terms, and add 35x with 25x to get 60x. Now, you have 60x + 105 = 345. Subtract 105 from 345 to get 240. Divide 60 by 240 to get the x by itself, and you have the equation x=4. That means Joshua worked 4 hours and Luke worked 7, because he worked 3 more. You can also check just in case by filling in the variable with 4 from our original equation. 35(4+3) + 25(4) = 345. 245+100=345. 345=345, so it is correct! Sorry for the lengthy answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours worked by Joshua.

Shirts ironed by Joshua in an hour = 25

Number of shirts ironed by Joshua in x hours = 25x

The number of hours worked by Luke = (x + 3)hours

Shirts ironed by Luke in an hour = 35

No. of shirts ironed by Luke in x hours = 35*(x + 3) = 35x+35*3 = 35x + 105

No. of shirts ironed by Luke and Joshua = 345

25x + 35x +105 = 345

60x = 345 - 105

60x = 240

x = 240/60

x = 4 hours

The number of hours worked by Joshua = 4 hours

The number of hours worked by Luke = 4 +3 = 7 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of g(7), locate 7 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line upward until it meets the graph (blue line). At that point, follow the grid line to the left until it meets the y-axis. Read the value from the scale on the y-axis.

g(7) = 4

(1 point) consider the function f(t)=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪0,−5,−6,6,t<00≤t<11≤t<7t≥7;f(t)={0,t<0−5,0≤t<1−6,1≤t<76,t≥7; 1. wr

sergij07 [2.7K]

$f(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

Recall that

$u(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

Take it one piece at a time. For $t\ge0$ , we can scale $u(t)$ by -5:

$-5u(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

If we shift the argument by 1 and scale by -5, we have

$-5u(t-1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

so if we subtract this from $-5u(t)$ , we'll end up with

$-5u(t)+5u(t-1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

For the next piece, we can add another scaled and shifted step like

$-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

so that

$-5u(t)+5u(t-1)-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

For the last piece, we add one more term:

$6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

and so putting everything together, we get $f(t)$ :

$f(t)\equiv-5u(t)+5u(t-1)-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)+6u(t-7)$
$f(t)\equiv-5u(t)-u(t-1)+12u(t-7)$

Plz plz plz help me with this question

Gnoma [55]

My teacher told be to try and think of it as a circle, because circles are 360 degrees. Then to place those angles in the circle and it should make it easier to find the angles, because when you see it in the circle, you can divide it into 4 parts so that you would then have 4, 90 degree angles that you can then work off of by placing those angles you need to find into the circle. It was supposed to make it easier, and i genuinely hope that you can do this. You got this, and you will get through the pain of math tonight and many more. Good luck. ^-^

A machining operation produces bearings with diameters that are normally distributed with mean 3.0005 inches and standard deviat

padilas [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 rule for the Normal distribution is an empirical rule that remind us the percentages of data that falls between the mean ± 1, ± 2 and ± 3 standard deviations.

That is to say, if the mean is m and the standard deviation s, roughly speaking 68% of the data falls between [m-s, m+s], 95% between [m-2s, m+2s] and 99.7% between [m-3s, m+3s].

Since the mean is 3.0005 and the standard deviation is s=0.0010, 2s=0.0020, 95% of the data should fall between [3.0005-0.0020, 3.0005+0.0020] and 5% outside this interval. So <em>around 5% of total production will be scrap</em>.
