Let x and y be the rate per hour for Mechanic 1 and 2 respectively.

Then,
x+y=205 ---------- (1)
Additionally,
10x+15y = 2500 ------ (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2;
Multiply (1) by 10 and subtract two from the result,
10x+10y = 2050
10x +15 y =2500
----------------------
        -5 y = --450 => y = 450/5 = $90
Then,
x= 205-90 = $115

Therefore,
Mechanic 1 charged $115 per hour
Mechanic 2 charged $90 per hour

Solve the equation without the use of a calculator. please Help!!! Thank you!!!<br> 12x^3-30x=5-2x^2
nata0808 [166]

So, since we have a cubic equation with 4 terms, the first thing we should try is factoring by grouping, so:

12x^3+2x^2-30x+5 =0 \implies \\ 2x^2(6x+1)-5(6x+1)=0 \implies \\ (2x^2-5)(6x+1) = 0

Now that we've factored our equation, we can use ZPP and break it up:

2x^2-5 = 0 \implies \\ 2x^2=5 \implies\\ x^2=\frac{5}{2} \implies\\ x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2} \\ \\ 6x+1 =0 \implies \\ 6x=-1 \implies\\ x=\frac{-1}{6}

So, our solutions are:

x\in \{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2},-\frac{1}{6}\}

Nolan and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $8 worth of apples
goldfiish [28.3K]

Nolan and his children bought fruits (Apples and bananas) worth $8.

Cost of each apple and bananas are $2 and $0.40 respectively.

Let the number of bananas he bought = y

And the number of apples = x

Therefore, cost of the apples =$2x

And the cost of bananas = $0.40y

Total cost of 'x' apples and 'y' bananas = $(2x + 0.40y)

Equation representing the total cost of fruits will be,

(2x + 0.40y) = 8

10(2x + 0.40y) = 10(8)

20x + 4y = 80

5x + y = 20 --------(1)

If he bought 5 times as many bananas as apples,

y = 5x ------(2)

Substitute the value of y from equation (2) to equation (1),

5x + 5x = 20

10x = 20

x = 2

Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (2)

y = 5(2)

y = 10

Therefore, Nolan bought 2 apples and 10 bananas.
