Answer:

<em>Shayla charges $20 per hour for middle school students and $25 per hour for high school students.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

x = Shayla's hourly charge for middle school students

y = Shayla's hourly charge for high school students

Last week, Shayla tutored middle school students for 5 hours and high school students for 12 hours. The total earning was 5x+12y. She earned $400 last week, thus:

5x + 12y = 400        [1]

This week, she tutored middle school students for 6 hours and high school students for 10 hours. The total earnings were 6x+10y and it represented $370, thus:

6x + 10y = 370

Dividing by 2:

3x + 5y = 185        [2]

We have formed the system of equations:

5x + 12y = 400        [1]

3x + 5y = 185        [2]

Multiply [1] by -3 and [2] by 5:

-15x - 36y = -1200

15x + 25y = 925

Adding both equations:

-11y = -275

Dividing by -11:

y = -275/(-11) = 25

y = 25

Substituting in [1]:

5x + 12*25 = 400

5x + 300 = 400

5x = 400 - 300 = 100

x = 100/5 = 20

x = 20

Shayla charges $20 per hour for middle school students and $25 per hour for high school students.

Solve for x: 2 over 3 equals the quantity x minus 1 end quantity over 5
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

13 over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine!

I hope I have understood the problem well.

If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality:

(x-1) / 5 = 2/3

From this equation you must clear the "x".

First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying

(X – 1) / 5 = 2/3  

(X – 1) = (2/3)*5

X – 1 = 10/3

Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding

X  = 10/3 + 1

Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then,

X = 10/3 + 3/3

X = 13/3

I hope I've been helpful!

Regards!

The sand pit for the long jump has a width of 2.7 meters and a length of 9.54 meters. Just in case it rains, the principal wants
sveta [45]

Answer:

A = 25.758 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the sand pit, b = 2.7 m

Length of the sand pit, l = 9.54 m

We want to cover the sand pit with a piece of plastic. We need to find how many square meters of plastic will be needed to cover the sand pit. It is equal to the area of sand pit. It is in the shape of rectangle. Its area is given by :

A = l × b

A = 2.7 × 9.54

A = 25.758 m²

So, 25.758 m² of plastic will be needed to cover the sand pit.
