Answer:

<h2>$503.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

let the apprentice duration of work be x hours

so that the electrician worked (x+4)hours

53*(x+4)+22*x=624.50

opening the bracket we have

53x+212+22x=624.50

collect like terms we have

53x+22x+212=624.50

75x+212=624.50

75x=624.50-212

75x=412.5

divide both sides by 75 we have

x=412.5/75

x=5.5

The electrician worked a total of (x+4)

5.5+4=9.5 hours or 9hours 30min

given that the electrician earns $53 per hour

then,for the work he would make 53*9.5=$503.5

Choose all that correctly solve for x.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Options: A, B, and C correctly solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

A).

\frac{5}{2} x = \frac{15}{2}

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives;

5x = 15

x = 15 ÷ 5 = 3

∴ This option correctly solve for x.

B).

x + \frac{7}{2} = 7

x = 7 - \frac{7}{2} = \frac{14}{2} -\frac{7}{2} = \frac{7}{2}

∴ This option correctly solve for x.

C).

x + 3 = \frac{21}{5}

x = \frac{21}{5} - \frac{15}{5}  = \frac{6}{5}

But the option give x as 5/6 hence this option does not correctly solve for x.

D).

5x = 11/2

x = 11/2 ÷ 5 = 11/2 × 1/5 = 11/10

But the option gives x as 10/11 so it does not correctly solve for x.

If g(x)= x+1/x-2 and h(x)= 4-x, what is the value of (g•h)(-3)?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First find h(-3)

 h(-3)= 4-(-3) = 4+3 = 7

Then take this result and find g(h(-3)) = g(7)

g(7) = (7+1)/( 7-2) = 8/5
