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.

How do you simplify -5x-x+14x-3x
jolli1 [7]

You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said

                    -(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .

You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say

                                 5 cows .

When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared.  It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.

Relax.  Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.

7. A battery manufacturer makes batteries that have a failure rate of .015. That is, 15 out of each 1,000 batteries are defectiv
azamat
The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is  86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.

Solve the equation for the variable numerically using a
tangare [24]

Answer:

x= 12

Step-by-step explanation

3x+8=44

subtract 8 from both sides:  3x+8= 44

                                                     -8    -8

3x=36

then divide by 3 on both sides

3x=36

3    3

which leaves : x=12

my explaining is horrible but i hope this helps
