Answer:

15 and 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the time taken by the first chap, and y the second.

\left \{ {{x+y = 20 \atop {55x+60y=1125}} \right.

Let's divide by 5 and play with the LHS of the first equation a bit:

11x+ 11y +y = 225\\11(x+y)+y= 225 we know how much x+y is ( first equation!) let's solve.

11(20) +y = 225 \rightarrow y=5 At this point it's easy to check that x=15

Find the equation of the line shown
Elena L [17]

Answer:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y = mx + b to write an equation. The y-intercept is zero. This is where the line crosses the y -axis, kind of the "starting point" So in the equation the b is a zero.

You can grab a couple points from the line to do a calculation for slope. BUT, you can actually SEE the slope on this line and save yourself the calculation. Starting from zero, see that you go UP 2 and OVER 1 to get to the next point. UP2OVER1 gets you to the next point and the next point. UP2OVER1 is the slope 2/1, which is 2, which is the m in the equation.

y = 2/1 x + 0

y = 2x + 0

y = 2x

**in case you have to show a calc for slope. Grab two points and do y-y, put that on top and then x-x and put that on the bottom.**

How much does 2.5 L of oil cost if 2,000 mL costs $5.00?<br> Show work
kkurt [141]

Answer:

$6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

2000ml = 2 litres

2.5L - 2L = 500ml

So now we know that without the 500ml, it is 5 dollars.

Find out how much 500 ml cost.

2000ml = 5.00

1ml = 5.00 ÷ 2000 = 0.0025

500ml = 0.0025 x 500 = 1.25

2L + 500 ml = 2.5L (which 2.5L costs 6.25)

How can the radian measure of an angle determine the arc length on the unit circle?
Darina [25.2K]
A unit circle is the one which has radius equal to 1.

The relation between radius of circle (r), the arc length (s) and the radian measure of angle made by arc (Ф) is given as:

s = rФ

For a unit circle, r = 1, so the above equation becomes:

s= Ф

This means, the arc length will be equal to the angle made by that arc in radians.
