Answer:

14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned by gardener for each day worked = $60

Amount paid by gardener for each day when absent = $15

Total number of days = 20

Let the total number of days when the gardener was working = x

Then he was absent for (20 - x) days.

Total amount earned during this period = $750

Then, \[60x - 15(20-x) = 750\]


=> \[60x + 15x - 300 = 750\]

=> \[75x = 1050\]

=> x = 14

So the gardener worked for 14 days out of 20.

No, it is not possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95

<h3>How to form a linear equation</h3>

Let the time taken to play basketball be "x"

Let the time taken to play volleyball be "y"

According to the information given, Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day, then;

x + y = 95

If he plays basketball for 25 minutes long, then;

x = 25

The pair of linear equations that represents the statement are:

x  + y = 95
x = 25

The time it takes Eric to play volleyball every day is expressed as:

y = 95 - x

y = 95 - 25

y = 70 minutes

No, it is not possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95

Answer:

It comes down to what the equals sign means. It means,  that the two things mentioned on either side of the equation are the same thing. If you do something to the left side, you have presumably changed it.

Which of the following are rational numbers {7,-5,2/3,5.79,,√13,√-4}
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

7, -5, 2/3, 5.79

Step-by-step explanation:

rational numbers are numbers you can put in fraction form. \sqrt{13} is not a perfect square, therefore you cannot put it in fraction form. \sqrt{-4} is an imaginary number. Rational numbers are in the Real Numbers category, so it is not a rational number.
