Answer:

The first mechanic charges $105 per hour, and the second mechanic charges $90 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the rate of the first mechanic, and y is the rate of the second mechanic, then:

10x + 5y = 1500

x + y = 195

Solve the system of equations using elimination or substitution.  Using substitution:

10x + 5 (195 − x) = 1500

10x + 975 − 5x = 1500

5x = 525

x = 105

y = 195 − x

y = 90

The first mechanic charges $105 per hour, and the second mechanic charges $90 per hour.

the following data values represent a population. what is the variance of the values? 17, 5, 11, 1, 11
Vladimir [108]
Variance = summation of (x - mean)^2 all divided by the number of dataset.
mean = (17 + 5 + 11 + 1 + 11)/5 = 9

Variance = [(17 - 9)^2 + (5 - 9)^2 + (11 - 9)^2 + (1 - 9)^2 + (11 - 9)^2]/5 = (8^2 + (-4)^2 + 2^2 + (-8)^2 + 2^2}/5 = (64 + 16 + 4 + 64 + 4)/5 = 152/5 = 30.4

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width.If the length is decreased by 4 m and the width is increased by 1 m , the perimet
o-na [289]

Answer:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the width to be x.

Then the length will be 3x.

The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.

So the dimensions will become:

Length=3x-4

Width=x+1

Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(l+b)

66 = 2(3x-4+x+1)     (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)

33 = 4x-3      (Add 3 to both sides)

36 = 4x        (Divide both sides by 4)

x = 9

Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:

Length=3x

Width=x

So the dimensions are:

Length = 27 metres

Width = 9 metres
