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

what's the final volume of a gas with an initial volume of 75ml if the pressure decreases from 300ml to 200ml? A. 50.0ml B.112.5
aivan3 [116]
300 ml ... 200 ml
75 ml ... x = ?

If you would like to know what is the final volume of a gas, you can calculate this using the following steps:

300 * x = 200 * 75     /300
x = 200 * 75 / 300
x = 50.0 ml

The correct result would be A. 50.0 ml.

Error Analysis Your friend says that the volume of this sphere is 44.58
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

  • the given dimension was used as the radius
  • 5.57 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere can be found using the formula ...

  V = 4/3πr³ . . . . . where r is the radius

__

The figure points to a diameter line and indicates 2.2 m. The arrowhead is in the middle of a radius line, making it easy to interpret the dimension as the radius of the sphere.

If 2.2 m is used as the radius, the volume is computed to be ...

  V = 4/3π(2.2 m)³ ≈ 44.58 m³

This agrees with your friend's volume, suggesting the diameter was used in place of the radius in the computation.

__

The correct volume, using 2.2 m as the diameter, is ...

  V = 4/3π(1.1 m)³ ≈ 5.57 m³
