Percy works two part-time jobs to help pay for college classes. On Monday, he works 3 hours at the library and 2 hours at the coffee cart and earns $36.50. On Tuesday, he works 2 hours at the library and 5 hours at the coffee cart and earns $50. His hourly wage at the library, x, and hourly wage at the coffee cart, y, can be determined using the system of equations below.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hourly wage at the library = x = $7.5

Hourly wage at the coffee cart = y = $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Hourly wage at the library = x

Hourly wage at the coffee cart = y

On Monday, he works 3 hours at the library and 2 hours at the coffee cart and earns $36.50.

Hence:

3x + 2y = 36.5.... Equation 1

On Tuesday, he works 2 hours at the library and 5 hours at the coffee cart and earns $50.

2x + 5y = 50...... Equation 2

Combining both Equations

3x + 2y = 36.5.... Equation 1

2x + 5y = 50...... Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method, Multiply Equation 1 by 2 and Equation 2 by 3 which are coefficients of x to eliminate x

6x + 4y = 73 .. Equation 3

6x + 15y = 150...... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

11y = 77

y = 77/11

y = 7

Solving for x using Equation 2

2x + 5y = 50...... Equation 2

2x + 5 × 7 = 50

2x + 35 = 50

2x = 50-35

2x = 15

x = 15/2

x = 7.5

Therefore,

Hourly wage at the library = x = $7.5

Hourly wage at the coffee cart = y = $7

School b starts with 65 points and gives no incorrect answers and the same number of correct answers as school A. The game ends with the 2 schools as a tie

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

In an academic contest correct answers earn 12 points and incorrect answers lose 5 points. In the final round school A starts with 165 points and gives the same number of correct and incorrect answered. School B starts with 65 points and gives no incorrect answers and the same number of correct answers as school A. How many answers did each school get in the final round?

Let x = number correct answers

because school a , gives the same correct and wrong answers, their equation can be represented as :

165 - 5x + 12x =

165 + 7x

School b gives no wrong answer. their equation can be represented as

65 + 12x

to fing the number of correct answers given, equate the two equations

165 + 7x = 65 + 12x

collect like terms

165 - 65 = 12x - 7x

100 = 5x

b) What is the length of the leg adjacent to ∠C?

d) What is cos C?

e) What is tan C?

Answers

Answer:

a) 24

b) 10

c) 12/13

d) 5/13

e) 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We can see that the leg opposite <C is AB, and we are given AB = 24

b) We can see the leg adjacent to <C is AC, and we are given that AC = 10

c) The trig function sine is equal to

[tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

The opposite, AB, is 24, and the hypotenuse, BC, is 26. We can plug those numbers in:

[tex]sin(c) = \frac{24}{26} = \frac{12}{13}[/tex]

d)The trig function cosine is equal to

[tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

The adjacent, AC, is 10, and the hypotenuse, BC, is 26. We can plug those numbers in:

[tex]cos(c) = \frac{10}{26} = \frac{5}{13}[/tex]

d)The trig function tangent is equal to

[tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

The opposite, AB, is 24, and the adjacent, AC, is 10. We can plug those numbers in:

[tex]tan(c) = \frac{24}{10} = \frac{12}{5}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sin A=\frac{12}{37},\\\\\cos A=\frac{35}{37},\\\\\tan A=\frac{12}{35}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle only, the sine of an angle is equal to the angle's opposite side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle. (o/h)

The cosine of the angle is equal to the angle's adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle. (a/h)

The tangent of the angle is equal to angle's opposite side divided by the adjacent side. (o/a)

In this case, angle A's opposite side is 12, its adjacent side is 35, and the hypotenuse is 37 (o=12, a=35, h=37).

Thus we have:

[tex]\sin A=\frac{12}{37},\\\\\cos A=\frac{35}{37},\\\\\tan A=\frac{12}{35}[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin A=opposite/hypotenuse=12/37

cos A=adjacent/hypotenuse=35/37

tan A=opposite/adjacent=12/35

Which statement best compares the spreads of the data sets?

Answers

Answer:

The interquartile range (IQR) for Democratic electoral votes, 186.5, is very nearly equal to the IQR for Republican votes, 185.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is; The interquartile range (IQR) for Democratic electoral votes, 186.5, is very nearly equal to the IQR for Republican votes, 185.5.

How to find the interquartile range?

IQR(interquartile range)  is the difference between third and first quartile.

[tex]IQR = Q_3 -Q_1[/tex]

The lower quartile, also called first quartile has approx 25% in its left partition, and on its right lies approx 75% of the data.

The third quartile (also called upper quartile)  has approx 75% in its left partition, and on its right lies approx 25% of the data.

From the given plots, we have:

Republican

[tex]IQR = Q_3 -Q_1[/tex]

IQR = 356 - 170.5

IQR = 185.5

Democratic

[tex]IQR = Q_3 -Q_1[/tex]

IQR = 367.5 - 181

IQR = 186.5

Hence, The interquartile range (IQR) for Democratic electoral votes, 186.5, is very nearly equal to the IQR for Republican votes, 185.5.

Which linear function has a y-intercept of -5?
2x+y=-10
x-y=-5
x-3y=15
-x+4y=20​

Answers

Answer:

It could be =15 or =0

Step-by-step explanation:Multiplying each side of −3x+4y=20

by 2 gives −6x+8y=40

. Adding each side of −6x + 8y = 40 to the corresponding side of 6x+3y=15

gives 11y=55,ory=5

. Finally, substituting 5 for y in 6x+3y=15

gives 6x+3(5)=15,orx=0

.

Answer:

x-3y=15 has a y-intercept of -5

Step-by-step explanation:

A y-intercept occurs when x = 0. So, when x = 0, which function has a y-value of -5?

Plug in 0 for all the values of x and solve for y.

1. 2(0)+y=-10; y=-10

2. (0)-y=-5; y = 5

3. (0)-3y=15; y = -5

4. -(0)+4y=20; y= 5

How much money would you have if you invested $3000 at 6.25% annual interest, compounded daily for 2 years?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A\simeq3399.41[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount formula in compound interest is:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

where:

P = principal amount

r = annual interest

n = number of compounding periods

t = number of years

We already know that:

P = $3000

[tex]r = 6.25\% = \frac{6.25\%}{100\%}=0.0625[/tex]

t = 2

n = 365

Then,

[tex]A=3000(1+\frac{0.0625}{365} )^{(365)(2)}\\\\A=3000(1+\frac{0.0625}{365} )^{730}\\\\A=3399.408982\\\\A\simeq3399.41[/tex]

x²+7x-5x-35=0

x(x+7)-5(x+7)=0

(x-5)(x+7)=0
