Answer: Irrational</h3>
We cannot write sqrt(12) as a fraction of two whole numbers
Note how sqrt(12) = 3.464 and the decimal portion goes on forever without any known pattern (and it doesnt repeat either).
Compare this to something like sqrt(16) = 4 which can be written as a fraction 4/1, so sqrt(16) is rational
Let x and y be the rate per hour for Mechanic 1 and 2 respectively.
Then,
x+y=205 ---------- (1)
Additionally,
10x+15y = 2500 ------ (2)
Solving equations 1 and 2;
Multiply (1) by 10 and subtract two from the result,
10x+10y = 2050
10x +15 y =2500
----------------------
-5 y = --450 => y = 450/5 = $90
Then,
x= 205-90 = $115
Therefore,
Mechanic 1 charged $115 per hour
Mechanic 2 charged $90 per hour
You need to replace x with 5 so it will be…
[3(5) + 4] - (2 - 5)
(15 + 4) - (-3)
19 + 3
22
Answer: B. 150
48-5=43
43+7=50
50•3=150
