You decide to get an estimate on the cost of repairs for the green food truck. The mechanic explains that the cost of the repair

s comes out to be about $9,500. This price includes the cost of labor and the cost of the parts needed to do the repairs. If labor costs are 3/5 the cost of the parts, how much would you save by doing the repairs yourself and just purchasing the parts?

Answer:

you save labor : 3562.50

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to calculate for labor.

labor = 3/5 (parts)

labor + parts = $9500 (total costs)

3/5 parts + parts =9500

3/5 parts + 5/5 parts = 9500

8/5 parts=9500

5/8(8/5 parts) = 5/8 (9500)

‘parts = 5937.50

labor=3562.50 (3/5 x 5937.50)

total = 9500

What is the solution to sqrt 17-x=x+3? Show your work.
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember:

(\sqrt[n]{a})^n=a\\\\(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2

Given the equation \sqrt{17-x}=x+3, you need to solve for the variable "x" to find its value.

You need to square both sides of the equation:

(\sqrt{17-x})^2=(x+3)^2

17-x=(x+3)^2

Simplifying, you get:

17-x=x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2\\\\17-x=x^2+6x+9\\\\x^2+6x+9+x-17=0\\\\x^2+7x-8=0

Factor the quadratic equation. Find two numbers whose sum be 7 and whose product be -8. These are: -1 and 8:

(x-1)(x+8)=0

Then:

x_1=1\\x_2=-8

Let's check if the first solution is correct:

\sqrt{17-(1)}=(1)+3

4=4 (It checks)

Let's check if the second solution is correct:

\sqrt{17-(-8)}=(-8)+3

5\neq-5 (It does not checks)

Therefore, the solution is:

x=1
