You didn't include the costs of doing repairs at both computer repair firms. I fixed that for you.

ABC Tech ------- $20 service charge plus $15 per hour.

Tech squad ------- $30 service charge plus $10 per hour.

Answer:

Steven's estimate of the repair time is 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now in this case, we were told that ABC Tech normally charges $20 service charge and $15 per hour of computer repair service. The second tech firm charges $30 service charge and $10 per hour for computer repair service. We are now simply required to find out or calculate the number of hours of computer repair service whereby the cost of doing repairs at both tech firms become equal.

Let us use "x" to represent that unknown number of hours. The equation needed to calculate this is:

20 + 15x = 30 + 10x

We then pair like terms

15x - 10x = 30 - 20

5x = 10

x = 10/5

x = 2

Therefore the number of hours of computer repair service whereby the cost of doing repairs at both tech firms become equal is 2 hours.

Working alone and at a constant rate, Machine A takes 3 hours to create a widget. Machine B, working alone and at a constant rat

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Time required by Machine B to create a widget = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Machine A ( $T_{A}$ ) = 3 hours

Time taken by Machine B ( $T_{B}$ )= x hours

Time taken by both machines by working together = 12 hours

The time required to both machines by working together to finish a task is given by the formula = $\frac{T_{A} {T_{B} } }{T_{A} + T_{B} }$

Put the values in above formula we get

⇒ T = $\frac{3 x}{3 + x}$

⇒ 12 = $\frac{3 x}{3 + x}$

⇒ 36 + 12 x = 3 x

⇒ x = - 4 hours

This is the time required by Machine B to create a widget.

list as many combinations of three dimensions you can come up with that would give you a volume if 1536 cubic feet.

Monica [59]

Answer:

1.) Length = 8ft, width = 8ft, height = 24ft

2.) Length = 8ft, width = 16ft, height = 12ft

3.) Length = 8ft, width = 24ft, height = 8ft

4.) Length = 8ft, width = 32ft, height = 6ft

5.) Length = 6ft, width = 8ft, height = 32ft

6.) Length = 16ft, width = 4ft, height = 24ft

7) Length = 12ft, width = 8ft, height = 16ft

8.) Length = 2ft, width = 64ft, height = 12ft

9.) Length = 48ft, width = 16ft, height = 2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain a volume of 1536 cubic feet:

This means Length × width × Height equals 1536ft^3

1.) Length = 8ft, width = 8ft, height = 24ft

2.) Length = 8ft, width = 16ft, height = 12ft

3.) Length = 8ft, width = 24ft, height = 8ft
