Answer: 55x + 75 = 350; 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

- A flat fee is $75

- John charges $55 an hour

- The total charge is $350

We need to write an equation to find how many hours John works.

<em>x </em>will represent hours worked.

55x + 75 = 350

We now need to solve for x.

Subtract 75 from both sides.

55x + 75 - 75 = 350 - 75

Simplify.

55x = 275

Divide 55 from both sides.

55x/55 = 275/55

Simplify.

x = 5

John worked 5 hours.

To check our work, we just plug in our x value!

55(5) + 75

275 + 75 = 350

For what values of a does the equation a+x= 1+xa^2 have no solution?

Anton [14]

Answer:

We have the equation

$a+x= 1+xa^2$

we leave the terms with x on the left side of the equation and the independent terms on the right side.

$x-xa^2=1-a\\(1-a^2)x=1-a\\$

resolving for x we have that

$x=\frac{1-a}{1-a^2}$

Since we need that the equation doesn't have solution, then it is necessary that the denominator of x be 0 and this occur when $1-a^2=0\\1=a^2\\a=\pm1$

Then, for $a=\pm1$ the equation hasn't solution

ABCD is a rectangle, so AD and BC are parallel. Thus, The angle complementary to 6x+19 is 47.

6x+19+47=90

6x+66=90

6x=24

The radius of a circle is 10. Using π, which equation expresses the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the circle's dia

aleksley [76]

The ratio of circumference to diameter is independent of the radius.

Defining C=circumference, r=radius, D=diameter = 2r

Circumference = C = 2 π r = π D

ratio of circumference / diameter

= C/D = π
