Answer: The mechanic worked 3hrs 95 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since its a six sided die the probability for rolling a single number ( like six or four) is always going to be 1/6.
and since the dice has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on it the probability for the even and the odd numbers are the same the even being 2, 4, 6 and odd being 1, 3, 5. the probability is 3/6 or simplified 1/2.
Use a system of equations:
For his trip on the way there:
D = 7*s
For his trip on the way home you have:
D = 5*(s+18)
use substitution to solve
I believe if Socratic is right the answer is -x+4y=8
