Answer:9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know it's 3/4 use
r=(3/4)² ....
=
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
Answer: A. 15
Explanation:
n is equal to 15 because 15 divided by 5 is 3. therefore, 3 = 15/5.
Answer:
A. (1, -2)
B. the lines intersect at the solution point: (1, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The equations can be solve by substitution by using the y-expression provided by one of them to substitute for y in the other.
This gives ...
3x -5 = 6x -8
Adding 8-3x to both sides, we get ...
3 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3 gives ...
1 = x
Substituting this value into the first equation, we can find y:
y = 3(1) -5 = -2
The solution is (x, y) = (1, -2).
__
B. The lines intersect at the solution point, the point that satisfies both equations simultaneously. That point is (1, -2).
