Answer:

$hours=1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation. Note key words like "plus", "per" and "total"

$130+56h=214$

where $h$ is the total hours worked. Solve for $h$ :

Subtract 130 from both sides and simplify

$130-130+56h=214-130\\56h=214-130\\56h=84$

Divide both sides by 56 to isolate the variable

$\frac{56h}{56} =\frac{84}{56}\\\\h=\frac{84}{56} \\\\h=\frac{3}{2} \\\\h=1.5$

The plumber worked for an hour and a half.

Done.

Answer:

The plumber worked for 1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 130 + 56x

Substitute 214 for y in the equation

214 = 130 + 56x

-130 -130 Subtract 130 from both sides

84 = 56x Divide both sides by 56

1.5 = x

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Last year Dr. Potter give 32 Polio vaccination and 28 measles vaccination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Each Polio vaccination consists of 4 doses , and each measles vaccination consists of 2 doses.

Last year ,Dr. Potter gave a total of 60 vaccinations that consisted of a total of 184 doses.

Now, to find the number of polio vaccinations and many measles vaccination.

Let the number of Polio vaccination be $x.$

And let the number of measles vaccination be $y.$

So, the total number of vaccinations:

$x+y=60$

$y=60-x$ .......(1)

As, given each Polio vaccination consists of 4 doses , and each measles vaccination consists of 2 doses.

Thus, the total number of doses:

$4x+2y=184$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1):

$4x+2(60-x)=184$

$4x+120-2x=184$

$2x+120=184$

Subtracting both sides by 120 we get:

$2x=64$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$x=32.$

The number of Polio vaccination = 32.

Now, putting the value of $x$ in equation (1):

$y=60-x$

$y=60-32$

$y=28.$

The number of measles vaccination = 28.

Therefore, last year Dr. Potter give 32 Polio vaccination and 28 measles vaccination.

Solve the right triangle for x.

dlinn [17]

Given:

The given figure is a right triangle.

The measure of one of the angle is 37°

One of the length of the legs of the triangle is 11 cm

The length of the hypotenuse is x.

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

$cos \ \theta=\frac{adj}{hyp}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$cos \ 37^{\circ}=\frac{11}{x}$

Simplifying, we get;

$x=\frac{11}{cos \ 37^{\circ}}$

$x=\frac{11}{0.799}$

$x=13.767$

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth, we get;

$x=13.77$

Thus, the value of x is 13.77 cm.
