You have two unknown rates, so we need to develop two equations to solve for these unknowns (based on the information given on the problem statement):
5x + 10y = 725
x + y = 100
By substitution, we get:
5x + 10(100 - x) = 725
5x + 1000 - 10x = 725
-5x = 725 - 1000
-5x = -275
x = -275/-5 = 55
100 - 55 = 45
Thus:
The mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged his time at $55/hr, and the mechanic who worked for 10 hours charged his time at $45/hr.
To verify, plug and chug the results back into the original equations:
5(55) + 10(45) = 725
275 + 450 = 725
725 = 725 [OK]
55 + 45 = 100 [OK]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't specify what you're supposed to do, so I'll make an educated guess.
Given the sequence f(1) = 4, f(n) = f(n − 1) + 11, find the first 5 terms:
f(1) = 4
f(2) = f(2 - 1) + 11 = f(1) + 11 = 4 + 11 = 15
f(3) = f(2) + 11 = 15 + 11 = 26
f(4) = f(3) + 11 = 26 + 11 = 37
f(5) = 37 + 11 = 48
Of course not.
If the line rises higher as it goes from left to right,
then its slope ( 'm' ) is positive.
If it sinks lower as it goes from left to right,
then its slope ( 'm' ) is negative.
So, since she weights 6 times more on earth, say for every lb on the moon is 6lbs on earth then.
now, if 1lb on the moon is 6lbs on earth, how much is 90 earth lbs on the moon?
