Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y

* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)

mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1

and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2

together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.

20x + 5y = 1150

the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.

x + y = 95

which means
x = 95 - y

plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.

20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150

solve for y

1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr

Now use this to solve for x

x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr

mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr

HELP HAVING ALOT OF TROUBLE!!
Ivenika [448]

Hello!

To solve this problem we first need to find the value of each given item.

12^4 is equal to 12·12·12·12, or 20,736

12·12·12·12·12 is equal to 12^5, or 248,832


With this information being provided, it can be said that 12^4 < 12x12x12x12x12

Hope this helps.

A chance event with probability 1 is certain to happen.
motikmotik

Answer:

True, for Probability of a chance event certain to happen is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A chance of event with probability of happening certainly is 1.

To find:- Is it true or false?

from the given scenario,

Probability states that P(Event) is a number describing the chance of that event will happen And value of P(E) lies between   0\leq  P(E)\leq 1..

                  P(An Event) = \frac{Number of favourable   outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}

When An Event is certain to occur then its P(E) = 1.

when  An Event cannot possible to occur then its P(E) = 0.

And

Is there any chance that event will occur then its value lies 0\leq  P(E)\leq 1.

Let us take an Example:-

  1. If it is Saturday, then the probability that tomorrow is Sunday is certain, therefore the probability is 1.
  2. The probability that tomorrow is Friday if today is Sunday is 0.

Hence,

True, for Probability of a chance event certain to happen is 1.
