Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, the second mechanic worked for 5. Together they charged a total of 950$ What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was 125$ per hour?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hourly rate of the first mechanic and

     y = the hourly rate of the second mechanic.

As far as the equation goes for the total amount charged:

10x + 5y = 950

As far as the equation goes for the sum of the 2 mechanics' rates:

x + y = 125

Solve the first equation for either x or y. I solved for y:

y = 125 - x

Now plug that into the first equation for y to get:

10x + 5(125 - x) = 950 and

10x + 625 - 5x = 950 and

5x = 325 so

x = 65

The first mechanic charges $65 per hour and the second mechanic charges

y = 125 - 65 so

the second mechanic charges $60 per hour.

Answers

Answer:

X= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 27/3= 9

Multiply 3 from both sides: x-3/-3 * 3 = 9 *3- x  * 3

Simplify: -(x-3) =27-x*3

2x=24

Divide 2 from both sides: 2x/2= 24/2

Answers

Answer:

191.829

Step-by-step explanation:

191.007+0.8215=191.8285. But since you want to round it to the nearest thousandths place, you have 191.829

Answer:

191.8290

Step-by-step explanation:

191.007 + 0.8215 = 191.8290

     

0.8215

0.0097

+______

0.8285

then add 191. to .8285, creating 191.8285, then rounding to the nearest thousandths, and in this case the thousandths is a 5, which means we always round up. That gives us 191.8290.

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 70N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 7 m/s^2. If the force is changed to 80N , what will be the acceleration of the object?

Answers

Answer:

8 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]F=m*a\\\\70=m*7 \longrightarrow\ m=10 (kg)\\\\80=10*a\longrightarrow\ a=\frac{80}{10}=8(m/s^2)\\[/tex]

Answer:

Acceleration is 8 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

[tex]{ \sf{F = m \times a}} \\ { \sf{70 = m \times 7}} \\ { \sf{m = 10 \: kg}}[/tex]

» mass is 10 kg

when force is 80N:

[tex]{ \sf{F = m \times a}} \\ { \sf{80 = 10 \times a}} \\ { \sf{a = \frac{80}{10} }} \\ \\ { \sf{a = 8 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

x•4%+y•8%=40•5%

4x+8y=40•5 and x+y=40

x=40-y

4(40-y)+8y=200

160-4y+8y=200

4y=200-160

4y=40 => y=10 (gallons solution 8%)

=> x=40-10=30 (gallons solution 4%)

30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%

Reynaldo drew square EFGH. Then, he drew the image of it, square E'F'G'H', 4 centimeters to the left of the original figure. Line segment EF is 6 centimeters. How long is segment E'F'?

Answers

Answer:

6 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Square E'F'G'H' is just square EFGH translated to the left.

It is still the same size, just in a different location.

Line segment EF is the same length as segment E'F'.

6 centimeters

The segment [tex]E'F'[/tex] is 6 centimeters long.

According to this question, Reynaldo created a new square with same dimensions of the former one by translating it 4 centimeters to the left, which means that line segments EF and E'F' have the same length. Let suppose that no further operations have been done.

If [tex]EF = 6\,cm[/tex], then [tex]E'F' = 6\,cm[/tex] because of translation. In other words, the segment [tex]E'F'[/tex] is 6 centimeters long.

A triangular garden has sides that measure 6 1/4 feet, 7 1/2 feet, and 6 5/6 feet.
What is the perimeter of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

20 feet 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can separate the fractions and wholes for the minute. 6+7+6= 19

Then we can go on to the fractions a foot is 12 inches. We are given the fractions 1/4, 1/2, &5/6.

1/4 of 12 is 3 as 12 divided by 4 is 3. (3 inches)

1/2 of 12 is 6 as 12 divided by 2 is 6 . ( 6inches)

5/6 of 12 is 10 as 12 divided by 6 then multiplied by 5 is 10. (10 inches)

Because it'd be a bit weird to provide the answer 9 feet and 19 inches we have to convert the 19 inches from the fractions to feet. Since one foot is 12 inches we know that we can take one foot from the 19 inches from the fractions provided with 7 inches left. With that, the final answer is 10 feet and 7 inches.

Two cars leave towns 760 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 20 kilometers per hour less than the other's. If they meet in 4 hours, what is the rate of the slower car?

Answers

Answer:

Let speed of slower car be xkm/h

Therefore rate of other car=x+20 km/h

After 4 hrs ,

Distance covered by Car A=4x

Distance covered by Car B=4x+80

4x+4x+80=760km

8x=680

x=45

The rate of the slower car=45km/h

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,5) and has a
slope of -4?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -4x -3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line given a point and the slope. We will use the point-slope formula.

[tex]y-y_1= m(x-x_1)[/tex]

In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through. The slope of this line is -4 and the line passes through (-2,5).

m= -4 x₁= -2 y₁ = 5

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]y-5 = -4 (x--2)[/tex]

[tex]y-5 = -4 (x+2)[/tex]

We are finding the equation of the line, so we should find the slope-intercept form or y=mx+b ( where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).We must isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the -4 on the right side of the equation. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -4.

[tex]y-5=( -4 *x ) + (-4* 2 )[/tex]

[tex]y-5 =(-4x)+ (-8)\\y-5= -4x -8[/tex]

5 is being subtracted from y. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so we will add 5 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]y-5 =-4x -8 + 5[/tex]

[tex]y= -4x -3[/tex]

The equation of the line is y= -4x -3. The slope of the line is -4 and the y-intercept is -3.
