Answer
456.50=159 + 3.5x
OR
3.5x=456.50-159

Reason
456.50 is the total
159 is for the parts
3.5 is the number of hours

So to find the cost you have to find out how much it cost for the labor by subtracting the total cost from the cost of the parts. To find the cost of labor for each hour you have to divide the total cost of labor by the number of hours used to work on the computer

Answer:

456.50 = 3.5x + 159, $85 per hour for labor

Step-by-step explanation:

456.50 = 3.5x + 159

subtract 159 from both sides

297.50 = 3.5x

divide by 3.5 on both sides to isolate x

x = 85

alexira [117]
We know that the diameter of the inner circle (d) and the side of a regular octagon (s) are tied by the formula:

d = (1 +√2) × s

The inverse formula is:

s = d / <span>(1 +√2)

Plugging in numbers:
s = 7 (1 + </span>√2)
   = 2.9 ft

Therefore the correct answer is A) <span>2.9 feet</span>

X has a normal distribution with the given mean and standard deviation. Find the indicated probability. (Round your answer to fo
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.6247

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a Z-score is Z = (X - μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the question,

μ = 51, σ = 10. We are to find P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56)

Step 1

Find the Probability of X ≤ 36

μ = 51, σ = 10

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Z = 36 - 51/ 10

Z = -15/10

Z = -1.5

We find the Probability of Z = -1.5 from Z-Table

P(X <36) = P(X = 36) = P(Z = -1.5)

= 0.066807

Step 2

Find the Probability of X ≤ 56

μ = 51, σ = 10

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Z = 56 - 51/ 10

Z = 5/10

Z = 0.5

We find the Probability of Z = 0.5 from Z-Table:

P(X < 56) = P(X = 56) = P(Z = 0.5)= 0.69146

Step 3

Find P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56)

P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56) = P(X ≤ 56) - P(X ≤ 36)

= P( Z = 0.5) - P(Z = -1.5)

= 0.69146 - 0.066807

= 0.624653

Approximately to 4 decimal places , P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56) = 0.6247

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6, 6) and (4. – 7).
postnew [5]

Answer:

\displaystyle -\frac{13}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to use the slope formula of \displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

y2= (-7)

y1=6

x2=4

x1(-6)

Solve.

\displaystyle \frac{(-7)-6}{4-(-6)}=\frac{-13}{10}=\boxed{-\frac{13}{10}}

Therefore, the correct answer is -13/10.

3c+6=18 how do you work this problem?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3c + 6 = 18

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3c = 18

Solving

6 + 3c = 18

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 3c = 18 + -6

3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12

3c = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

c = 4

Simplifying

c = 4
