Janet worked 3 hours more than David and 7 hours less than Kate. David earned $7.50 per hour, Janet earned $6 per hour, and Kate

earned $9 per hour. If Kate earned $27 more than David and Janet combined, how much did each person earn?​

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

-12x - 0.4 > 0.2(36.5x + 80) - 55    Remove the brackets.

-12x - 0.4 > 7.3x + 16 - 55               Combine the like terms on the right

-12x - 0.4 > 7.3x - 39                      Add 12x to both sides

- 0.4 > 7.3x + 12x - 39    

- 0.4 > 19.3x - 39                            Add 39 to both sides.

-0.4 + 39 > 19.3x                              Combine like terms on the left

38.6 > 19.3x                                    Divide by 19.3

38.6 / 19.3 > x

An artist is designing a kite like the one show below. Calculate the area to determine how much material she will need to create
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The answer is 161.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation: The top half of the kite is 6 in times 17 in because 8.5 + 8.5 = 17 so its 102. Half of 102 is 51 so 51 is the area of the top half. The bottom half is 13 in times 17 in which equals 221. Half of 221 is  110.5. Then 110.5 + 51 = 161.5... So your answer is 161.5 square inches.

We have two fair three-sided dice, indexed by i = 1, 2. Each die has sides labeled 1, 2, and 3. We roll the two dice independent
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

(a) P(X = 0) = 1/3

(b) P(X = 1) = 2/9

(c) P(X = −2) = 1/9

(d) P(X = 3) = 0

(a) P(Y = 0) = 0

(b) P(Y = 1) = 1/3

(c) P(Y = 2) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Two 3-sided fair die.

- Random Variable X_1 denotes the number you get for rolling 1st die.

- Random Variable X_2 denotes the number you get for rolling 2nd die.

- Random Variable X = X_2 - X_1.

Solution:

- First we will develop a probability distribution of X such that it is defined by the difference of second and first roll of die.

- Possible outcomes of X : { - 2 , -1 , 0 ,1 , 2 }

- The corresponding probabilities for each outcome are:

                  ( X = -2 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

                  P ( X = -2 ):  P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 )

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 1 / 9 )

   

                  ( X = -1 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 2 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 3 }

                 P ( X = -1 ):  P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 ) + P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 3)

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 2 / 9 )

         

       ( X = 0 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 2 } +  { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 3 }

       P ( X = -1 ):P ( X_2 = 1 )*P ( X_1 = 1 )+P( X_2 = 2 )*P ( X_1 = 2)+P( X_2 = 3 )*P ( X_1 = 3)

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 3 / 9 ) = ( 1 / 3 )

       

                    ( X = 1 ):  { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 2 }

                 P ( X = 1 ):  P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 ) + P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 2)

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 2 / 9 )

                    ( X = 2 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

                  P ( X = 2 ):  P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 )

                                    :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                    : ( 1 / 9 )                  

- The distribution Y = X_2,

                          P(Y=0) = 0

                          P(Y=1) =  1/3

                          P(Y=2) = 1/ 3

- The probability for each number of 3 sided die is same = 1 / 3.

Find the measure of each minor arc formed by a regular octagon inscribed in a circle. A. 15° B. 30° C.45° D. 60°
marin [14]
Your octagon has a central angle of 360 deg.  Since you're speaking of an octagon, which implies that the octagon is made up of eight triangles, divide 360 deg by 8 to obtain the measure of each minor arc formed.

The area of a rectangle with width x and length 5x is 5x2. What does the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The length is 5 times the width

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

W ----> the width of the rectangle

L ----> the length of the rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=LW

In this problem we have

L=5x ----> equation A

W=x ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

L=5W

therefore

The length is 5 times the width
