Alexander is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and $8 per hour landscaping. Last week Alexander worked t
IgorLugansk [536]

The system of equations is:

x = 2y

x*$10 + y*8 = $84

Solving it, we see that he worked 3 hours landscaping and 6 hours washing cars.

<h3>How to write the system of equations?</h3>

First, we need to define the variables:

  • x = number of hours washing cars.
  • y = number of hours landscaping.

We know that Alexander worked twice as many hours washing cars as he worked hours landscaping, then:

x = 2y

We also know that he earned a total of $84, then:

x*$10 + y*8 = $84

So the system of equations is:

x = 2y

x*$10 + y*8 = $84

To solve it, we just replace the first equation into the second one:

(2y)*$10 + y*8 = $84

y*$28 = $84

y = $84/$28 = 3

So He worked 3 hours landscaping, and:

x = 2*y = 2*3 = 6

6 hours washing cars.

Find the least value, greatest value, mean, median, mode, and range of the data in the stem-and-leaf plot.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Mean-17

Median-3

Mode-3

Range-47

Greatest Value-47

Least Value-0

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= Add every number up then divide by how many numbers there are

Median= It has an even number in total when ordered from least to greatest. So take the two middle numbers together and divide them by 2.

Mode= The number that occurs more often

Range= The difference between the highest and the lowest number.

47-0=47

Greatest and lowest value= the highest and lowest number in a data set.

4w^2+49=-28w solve for w<br><br> plz answer
boyakko [2]

Move all terms to one side

4w^2 + 49 + 28w = 0

Rewrite 4w^2 + 49 + 28w in the form a^2 + 2ab + b^2, where a = 2w and b = 7

(2w)^2 + 2(2w)(7) + 7^2 = 0

Use the Square of Sum: (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

(2w + 7)^2 = 0

Take the square root of both sides

3w + 7 = 0

Subtract 7 from both sides

2w = -7

Divide both sides by 2

<u>w = -7/2</u>
