Let x =  hours worked as a clerk ($12 per hour).
Let y = hours worked as a cashier ($8.25 per hour).

She worked 55 hours, therefore
x + y = 55             (1)

She earned $585, therefore
12x + 8.25y = 585        (2)

From (1), obtain
y = 55 - x           (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
12x + 8.25(55 - x) = 585
12x + 453.75 - 8.25x = 585
3.75x = 131.25
x = 35
y = 55 - x = 55 - 35 = 20

Answer: a)  Office clerk: 35 hours; cashier: 20 hours.

Solve for x and y. 3x+8y=20. 5x+3y=23
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

x=4 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1) 3x+8y=20  

Equation 2) 5x+3y=23

Equation 1) 5(3x+8y=20 )  

Equation 2) 3(5x+3y=23)

15x+40y=100

15x+9y=69

(Take away 40y from 9y and 100 from 69)

31y = 31

y=1

Substitute y=1 into equation 1)

3x+8=20

(Take away 8 from both sides)

3x=12

(Divide by 3)

x=4

Yuto and Riko went for a bike ride on the same path. When Riko left their house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path. If Yuto’s a
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When Riko left his house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path.

Average speed of Riko = 0.35 miles per minute

Average speed of Yuto = 0.25 miles per minute

First we will calculate the time in which Riko will catch Yuto on the track.

Relative velocity of Riko as compared to Yuto will be = velocity of Riko - velocity of Yuto

= 0.35 - 0.25

= 0.10 miles per minute

Now we this relative velocity tells that Riko is moving and Yuto is in static position.

By the formula,

Average speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

0.10 = \frac{5.25}{t}

t = \frac{5.25}{0.1}

t = 52.5 minutes

Now we know that Rico will catch Yuto in 52.5 minutes. Before this time he will be behind Yuto.

So duration of time in which Rico is behind Yuto will be 0 ≤ t ≤ 52.5

Here time can not be less than zero because time can not be with negative notation. It will always start from 0.
