Percy works two part-time jobs to help pay for college classes. On Monday, he works 3 hours at the library and 2 hours at the co

ffee cart and earns $36.50. On Tuesday, he works 2 hours at the library and 5 hours at the coffee cart and earns $50. His hourly wage at the library, x, and hourly wage at the coffee cart, y, can be determined using the system of equations below.
3x + 2y = 36.50
2x + 5y = 50.00

At which job does Percy earn the greater hourly wage? How much does Percy earn each hour at this job?

A). Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.00 at the library.

B). Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.00 at the coffee cart.

C). Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.50 at the library.

D). Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.50 at the coffee cart.

GEOMETRY<br><br> *image is attached above*
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

(-9.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio a:b (a to b) of two segments formed by a point of partition, and the endpoints of the original segment, we can calculate the point of partition using this formula:

( \frac{a }{a + b} (x_{2} - x_{1}) + x_{1}, \frac{a}{a + b} (y_{2} - y_{1})+y_{1}).

Given two endpoints of the original segment

→ (-10, -8) [(x₁, y₁)] and (-8, 8) [(x₂, y₂)]

Along with the ratio of the two partitioned segments

→ 1 to 3 = 1:3 [a:b]

Formed by the point that partitions the original segment to create the two partitioned ones

→ (x?, y?)

We can apply this formula and understand how it was derived to figure out where the point of partition is.

Here is the substitution:

x₁ = -10

y₁ = -8

x₂ = -8

y₂ = 8

a = 1

b = 3

( \frac{a }{a + b} (x_{2} - x_{1}) + x_{1}, \frac{a}{a + b} (y_{2} - y_{1})+y_{1}). →

( \frac{(1) }{(1) + (3)} ((-8) - (-10)) + (-10), \frac{(1)}{(1) + (3)} ((8) - (-8))+ (-8)) →

( \frac{1}{4} ((-8) - (-10)) + (-10), \frac{1}{4}((8) - (-8)) + (-8)) →

( \frac{1}{4} (2) + (-10), \frac{1}{4}(16) + (-8)) →

( (\frac{1}{2}) + (-10), (4) + (-8)) →

( (-\frac{19}{2}), (-4)) →

( -\frac{19}{2}, -4) →

*( -9.5, -4)*

Now the reason why this

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 5x = −2?
adoni [48]
X^2 + 5x = -2
x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

x = -b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) / 2a
a = 1, b = 5, and c = 2

x = -5 (+-) sqrt (5^2 - 4(1)(2)) / 2(1)
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (25 - 8) / 2
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (17) / 2

answer is : negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 2
