Mathematics

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

Since we know what each variable equals, we can write out the equation as shown:

47 = 5x + 3x - 1

Combining like terms:

47 = 8x - 1

Add 1 on both sides:

48 = 8x

Divide 8 on both sides:

X = 6

Now that we know what X equals, we can solve BC.

BC = 3(6) - 1

BC = 18 - 1

BC = 17

Therefore BC = 17.

Jeri's lawn service charges an initial fee of $4.50 plus $3 an hour. If she is asked to
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

5 hours 22 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of hours that Jeri worked as: h

Jeri's lawn service charges an initial fee of $4.50 plus $3 an hour

= $4.50 + $3 × h

= $4.50 + 3h

If she is asked to start before 7 a.m. Jeri charges 1.5 times the regular amount.

= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h)

If she made $29.25 on a job that began at 5 am, how many hours did Jeri work?

Hence, we have the final equation;

= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h) = $29.25

= 6.75 + 4.5h = 29.25

Collect like terms

= 4.5h = 29.25 - 6.75

4.5h = 22.5

h = 22.5/4.5

h = 5.3571428571

Approximately= 5.36 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

0.36 hour =

60 × 0.36

= 21.6 minutes

Approximately ≈ 22 minutes

Therefore, Jeri worked for 5 hours 22 minutes

olga_2 [115]

Answer: Badwater is 282 feet below the sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Death Valley headquarters in California is 190 feet below sea level. Badwater, America's lowest point, is 92 feet lower than Death Valley headquarters.

To find the depth of Badwater we need to add depth of Death Valley headquarters from sea level to the depth of Badwater from Death valley headquarters.

i.e. The Depth of Badwater from sea-level = 190 feet +92 feet

= 282 feet

Hence, Badwater is 282 feet below the sea level.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (-4,1).
kozerog [31]

The formula for slope is \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

In this case:

y_{2} = 1\\ y_{1} }= -3\\x_{2} = -4\\x_{1} = 0

so...

\frac{1 - (-3)}{-4 - 0}

\frac{4}{-4}

-1 <<<The slope

Hope this helped!
