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.

NO LINKS. Find the measure of the angle or arc indicated. Part 2<br>​
sergeinik [125]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14.  C) 136°

  15.  C) 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed angles are half the measure of the arc they intercept. For an inscribed quadrilateral, this means opposite angles are supplementary.

__

14) ∠H +∠W = 180°

  34x +55x +2 = 180

  89x = 178 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

  x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 89

  arc VX = 2(34x) = 68(2) = 136 . . . degrees

__

15) The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°.

  ? + 80° + (120°/2) = 180°

  ? = 40° . . . . . . . . . . subtract 140°

1. Solve proportion 12/15 = 18/b
omeli [17]
We solve the as follows:

<span>1. Solve proportion 12/15 = 18/b
</span>( 12/15 = 18/b ) b<span>
( 12b/15 = 18 ) 15/12
b = 18(15/12)
b = 45/2

2. Solve equations 

A. -x + 4 = x +6 
</span>-x + 4 - x = x +6 - x
<span>-2x + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4
-2x = 2
x = -1

B. 5n + 7 =7(n+1) -2n 
5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n
5n -7n + 2n = 7 - 7
0 = 0

C. -4(p+2) + 8 = 2(p-1) - 7p + 15
-4p - 8 + 8 = 2p - 2 - 7p + 15
-4p + 7p - 2p = -2 + 15 + 8 - 8
p =13

aliina [53]

Answer:

-1.5m + 4n is the equivalent expression

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equivalent expression, we combine the like terms.

We are given the following expression:

m + 4n - 2.5m

Combining the like terms:

m - 2.5m + 4n

-1.5m + 4n is the equivalent expression
