We want to write and solve a system of equations to see how much each person earns.

What each one earned is:

  • Janet = $78
  • Kate =  $180
  • David = $75

Let's define:

  • J = number of hours that Janet worked.
  • D = number of hours that David worked.
  • K = number of hours that Kate worked.

The information is:

<em>"Janet worked 3 hours more than David and 7 hours less than Kate"</em>

From this we can write:

J = D + 3

J = K - 7

We know that:

  • David earned $7.50 per hour.
  • Janet earned $6 per hour.
  • Kate earned $9 per hour.

Finally, we know that Kate earned $27 more than David an Janet combined, then we can write:

$9*K = $27 + ($7.50)*D + $6*J

Then we have a system of equations:

J = D + 3

J = K - 7

$9*K = $27 + ($7.50)*D + $6*J

We can rewrite the first and second equations to get:

D = J - 3

K = J + 7

Now we can replace these two in the other equation to get:

$9*(J + 7) = $27 + ($7.50)*(J - 3)+ $6*J

Now we can solve this for J:

$9*J + $63 = $27 + $7.50*J - $22.50 + $6*J

$9*J - $7.50*J - $6*J = $27 - $63 - $22.50

-$4.50*J = -$58.60

J = (-$58.60)/(-$4.50) = 13

This means that Janet worked for 13 hours.

And with:

K = J + 7 = 13 + 7 = 20

D = J - 3 = 13 - 3 = 10

We can see that Kate worked for 20 hours and David for 10 hours.

Then each one of them earned:

Janet = 13*$6 = $78

Kate = 20*$9 = $180

David = 10*$7.50 = $75

The accompanying data set consists of observations on shower-flow rate (L/min) for a sample of n = 129 houses: 4.6 12.1 7.1 7.0
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For n=129 and with leaf unit = 0.1, the stem and leaf chart of the given data on Shower-flow rate (L/min) is as follows:

2 28

Stem        leaves

3----------1344567789

4----------01356889

5----------00001114455666789

6----------0000122223344456667789999

7----------00012233455555668

8----------02233448

9----------012233335666788

10----------2344455688

11--------- 2335999

12---------- 17

13-------- 9

14--------36

15---------- 0035

16---------None

17---------None

18 ----------3

* From steam and leaf chart we note that minimum Shower flow rate is 2.2 whereas maximum is 18.3 L/mim. Further typical or representative rate is 7.0 L/min.

* The display of data on steam and leaf chart shows that data is positively skewed means concentration of data on left side or lower value side is high as compared to other side.

* Distribution is not symmetric rather very clear positive skew ness is observed through steam and leaf chart. Even distribution is Unimodal.

* From steam and leaf chart is indicative to conclude that the highest observation 18.3 is outlier.

Find the value of x<br>​
Monica [59]

X= 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

From E, draw EF || AB || CD.

Now, EF || CD and CE is the transversal.

So; <DCE + <CEF = 180° [co. int. <s]

x° + <CEF = 180°

<CEF = (180° – x°).

Again, EF || AB and AE is the transversal.

So; <BAE + <AEF = 180° 01 [co. int. <s ]

105° + <AEC+ <CEF = 180°

105° +25° + (180° – x°) = 180°

x° = 130°

I hope I helped you^_^
