Answer:

Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week = x

Number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week = y

1. Last week Allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours, then

x-y=3

<u>Lifeguarding:</u>

$12 per hour

$12x in x hours.

<u>Washing cars:</u>

$8 pere hour

$8y in y hours.

2. Allison earned a total of $96, hence

12x+8y=96

You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-y=3\\ \\12x+8y=96\end{array}\right.

Plot the graphs of these two equations (see attached diagram). These line intersect at point (6,3), so Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.

give the width of the lawnmower is 2.5 feet and the length of the rope is 25 feet, calculate the radius (R) of the pole that wil
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The radius is 0.398 feet to produce a perfect lawn for the lawnmower.

It is given that the width of the lawnmower is 2.5 feet and the length of the rope is 25 feet.

It is required to calculate the radius (R) of the pole that will produce a perfect lawn.

What is a circle?

It is defined as the combination of points that and every point has an equal distance from a fixed point ( called the center of a circle).

We have,

Width of the lawnmower =  2.5 feet

Length of the rope = 25 feet

For the perfectly mowed lawn, it means the lawnmower width which is 2.5 feet must wrap the pole with radius R, mathematically:

The perimeter of the pole = width of the lawnmower

2πR = 2.5

R =  0.398 Feet     ( π = 3.14 )

Thus, the radius is 0.398 feet to produce a perfect lawn for the lawnmower.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

x = 17º

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that it's a right angle because of the smaller square where the vertices meet. We are given 73º. An equation you can use is

90 - 73 = x

x = 17

Choose the ratio below that is equivalent to 3:5<br>A. 5:3<br>B. 9:15<br>C. 9:5<br>D. 8:4
n200080 [17]
Hi there! Just by looking at the choices, we can eliminate C and D, because those answers don’t make sense and they don’t flow together. 3:5 is equivalent to those like 6:10, 9:15, 12:20, and so on. You can basically add 3 and 5 in order to get the next ratios. The only ratio that works in this problem is B. The answer is B: 9:15.

what is the difference in height between an albatross flying at 100 m above the surface of the ocean and a shark swims 30 m belo
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

130 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to let the "surface of the ocea" be at 0 height.

So,

anything above surface has POSITIVE height

and anything below surface has NEGATIVE height

The albatross is 100 m above, so we can say its height is:

+100 meters

The shark is 30 m below, so we can say its height is:

-30 meters

The difference in height is thus:

100 - (-30) = 100 + 30 = 130 meters
