Two machines worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they charge a total of $2250. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $125 per hour?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution:

Let's make,

mechanic #1's rate = x

mechanic #2's rate = y

Note that their rate is dollars per hour.

Now, mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours. Then, we get the following equation:

20x = money earned by mechanic #1

On the other hand, mechanic #2 worked for 15 hours. Then, we get the following equation:

15y = money earned by mechanic #2

together they charged a total of $2250. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics is:

20x + 15y = 2250 EQUATION 1

On the other hand, the sum of the two rates was:

x + y = 125 EQUATION 2

From the equation, if we solve for x, we get:

x = 125-y EQUATION 3

plug (125-y) in for "x" in equation 1 to get everything in terms of one variable:

20(125-y)+15y = 2250

this is equivalent to

2500-20y +15y = 2250

this is equivalent to

2500 -5y = 2250

this is equivalent to

-5y = 2250 -2500

this is equivalent to:

-5y = -250

or

5y = 250

solving for y, we get:

[tex]y\text{ =}\frac{250}{5}=50[/tex]

now, replacing this into equation 3, we get:

x = 125-y = 125 - (50) = 75

so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

mechanic #1 charged 75 $/hr

mechanic #2 charged 50 $/hr

Which of the expressions equal −5

Answer:

-5+0=-5

(-6)+1=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

how do i solve this for standard equation and foci?

Answers

For this problem, we are given the graph of an ellipse, and we need to determine its expression in the standard form.

The standard equation of an ellipse is given below:

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

Where (h,k) is the center of the ellipse, a is the horizontal radius and b is the vertical radius.

The center of the ellipse on our problem is (-2,2), the vertical radius is 2 and the horizontal radius is 3. We have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{(x+2)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{2^2}=1 \\ \frac{(x+2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{4}=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

In order to calculate the Foci, we need to first find the eccentricity of the ellipse, which is given by the following formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} e=\sqrt{a^2-b^2} \\ e=\sqrt{3^2-2^2} \\ e=\sqrt{9-4}=\sqrt{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The coordinates of the foci are given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} F(h+e,k)=(-2-\sqrt{5},2) \\ F^{\prime}(h-e,k)=(-2+\sqrt{5},2) \end{gathered}[/tex]

The coordinates for the foci are: (-2-sqrt(5), 2) and (-2+sqrt(5), 2).

Answers

Mean is 5.25, Median is 5 and mode is 3.

Given,

In the question:

There are numbers:

3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 8, 8, 5, 3, 6, 4, 5, 3, 3, 7, 7.

To find the mean, median and mode.

Let's Know :

How do you find the mean median and mode?

The mean (average) of a data set is found by adding all numbers in the data set and then dividing by the number of values in the set. The median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest. The mode is the number that occurs most often in a data set.

Now, According to the above statement :

To find Mean:

[tex]\frac{3+4+ 5+ 7+ 6+ 8+ 8+ 5+ 3+ 6+ 4+ 5+ 3+ 3+ 7+ 7}{16}[/tex]

= 84/16 = 5.25

For Median

Arrange in ascending order

3, 3, 3, 3, 4,4, 5,5,5, 6,6, 7, 7, 7, 8,8.

There is an even no. of observations. i.e., 16 numbers.

then, there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values: so the median of

Middle two values is : (5 + 5)/2 = 10/2 = 5

Middle value is 5

For Mode:

The mode is the number that occurs most often in a data set.

Mode is 3 .

Hence, Mean is 5.25, Median is 5 and mode is 3.

Answers

Angle of depression is 7.7 °  made by the line of sight from the canyon edge to the fire .

What is angle of depression ?

The angle of depression is the angle created by the object and the horizontal line as seen from the horizontal line. The distance between two objects is often calculated when the angles and spacing of an object from the ground are known.

Calculation

let f be the the fire

b is the base of the sheer canyon wall

o be the cliffs of insanity point that is canyon edge

so OB = 7117 Feet

bf = 10 miles = 10 * 5280 = 52800 feet

angle of depression is < xof which is equal to < ofb

let the angle of depression is [tex]\theta[/tex]

now from triangle obf ; it is a right angle triangle , where of = hypotenuse

bf = base , ob = height < ofb = [tex]\theta[/tex]

so , tan [tex]\theta[/tex] = ob/bf = 7117/52800

[tex]\theta[/tex] = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] ( 7117/52800) = 7.68 ° = 7.7 °

so angle of depression is 7.7 °

What is the perimeter of a geometric figure?

The perimeter of a geometric figure is found by the length of the boundary of the figure.

a. The area of the gulf hole is found as follows;

The area is a composite figure, which consists of a rectangle of length 3·x and width (x + 4) and a square of length x

Which indicates that the area is A = 3·x × (x + 4) + x×x = 3·x² + 12·x + x²

The area of the hole, A = 3·x² + 12·x + x² = 4·x² + 12·x

The area of the hole is A = 4·x² + 12·x

b. The perimeter of the hole is found as follows;

P = (x + 4) + 3·x + (x + 4) + x + x + x = 8·x + 8

The perimeter of the hole = 8·x + 8

c. The area of the golf hole = 216 square feet, which indicates;

4·x² + 12·x = 216

4·x² + 12·x - 216 = 0

x² + 3·x - 54 = 0

(x + 9)·(x - 6) = 0

x = 6 or x = -9

The perimeter of the golf hole is therefore;

P = 8 × 6 + 8 = 56
