Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
Answer:
i dont know
Step-by-step explanation:
Choice C
(0,-2) is a point
put 0 into each equation and see if it gives you -2
A, c, d will give you -2
(2,0)
Only C gives you 0
I added a screenshot of the original question.
Now, first we will need to calculate the speed of each truck and then get the time that each of them will take to travel the 225 miles.
The basic rule that we will use for this question is:
velocity = distance / time
Part (a): getting the velocity of each truck:For the large truck:We are given that the truck took 4 hours to travel 180 miles. Therefore:
velocity of large truck = 180 / 4 = 45 miles/hourFor the small truck:We are given that the truck took 3 hours to travel the same 180 miles. Therefore:
velocity of small truck = 180 / 3 = 60 miles/hourPart (b): getting the time required for each truck to travel 225 miles:For the large truck:We have the distance = 225 miles and the velocity = 45 miles/hour. Therefore:
velocity = distance / time
time = distance / velocity = 225 / 45 = 5 hoursFor the small truck:We have the distance = 225 miles and the velocity = 60 miles/hour. Therefore:
velocity = distance / time
time = distance / velocity = 225 / 60 = 3.75 hours
