Shayla tutors middle school students and high school students. She charges a different rate for each. Last week, she tutored middle school students for 5 hours and high school students for 12 hours. This week, she tutored middle school students for 6 hours and high school students for 10 hours. She earned $400 last week and $370 this week. How much does she charge each?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Shayla charges $20 per hour for middle school students and $25 per hour for high school students.

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call:

x = Shayla's hourly charge for middle school students

y = Shayla's hourly charge for high school students

Last week, Shayla tutored middle school students for 5 hours and high school students for 12 hours. The total earning was 5x+12y. She earned $400 last week, thus:

5x + 12y = 400        [1]

This week, she tutored middle school students for 6 hours and high school students for 10 hours. The total earnings were 6x+10y and it represented $370, thus:

6x + 10y = 370

Dividing by 2:

3x + 5y = 185        [2]

We have formed the system of equations:

5x + 12y = 400        [1]

3x + 5y = 185        [2]

Multiply [1] by -3 and [2] by 5:

-15x - 36y = -1200

15x + 25y = 925

Adding both equations:

-11y = -275

Dividing by -11:

y = -275/(-11) = 25

y = 25

Substituting in [1]:

5x + 12*25 = 400

5x + 300 = 400

5x = 400 - 300 = 100

x = 100/5 = 20

x = 20

Shayla charges $20 per hour for middle school students and $25 per hour for high school students.

3.) There are 3 brothers. The first brother is twice as old as the second. The second is twice as old as the third.
If the sum of their ages is 28, how old is each brother?

Answers

Answer:

The first brother is 16, the second brother is 8 and the third brother is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of all the brothers  is 28, that means the cap of how old the oldest can be is 28. I just stated with numbers less then 28 that were dividable by two which means all the numbers had to be. So 16 for the first, 8 for the second and 4 for the youngest is the right answer I hop.

Answers

Answer: m∠XYQ = 122°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠XYQ + m∠QYZ = 180°

(10a + 2) + (5a - 2) = 180

15a = 180

a = 12

m∠XYQ = 10a + 2

m∠XYQ = 10 (12) + 2 = 122

m∠XYQ = 122°

Since −6 is 6 units to the left of 0, |−6|=6 .

The absolute value of −6 is negative.

The absolute value of −6 is less than the absolute value of 6.

​ −6 ​ is closer to zero on the number line than ​ −7 ​ , so |−6|<|−7| .

Answers

Answer:

The first one and the last one are true (Since −6 is 6 units to the left of 0, |−6|=6 and −6 is closer to zero on the number line than −7, so |−6|<|−7|.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is the distance to zero, and it is always positive. That means the positive and negative versions of a number have the same absolute value. That means the first one is true, and the second and third ones are false. For the last one, -6 is closer to zero, so that means it would be true (The absolute value of -6 is 6, and the absolute value of -7 is 7).

Nina Milling assembles transistor radios. she is paid $0.54 for each radio assembled during a regular work week, $0.62 for each radio assembled on on sundays. What is Nina's total pay for a week in which she assembled the following number of radios?

Answers

Answer:

I would need to know the number of radios she made each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say she assembled 2 radios a day, which means we would do 0.54 x 2 (that would be 1.08) and then times it by 6 ***not incuding sunday***

you would get $6.48

then for sunday we would do 0.62 x 2 (that would be 1.24) .

now we add 6.48 and 1.24 to get $7.72 a week.

the correct answer is 3,4,5

These set are called a Pythagorean triple

[tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex]=12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

[tex]\sqrt{a}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{b}[/tex] ⇔ [tex]\sqrt{ab}[/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{a}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{a}[/tex] = a

Given

[tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex]

Simplifying each radical

[tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{4(2)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{9(2)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex]

= 2 × 3 × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Mike created a cone that has a diameter of 8 feet and a height of 3 feet. Find the volume of this cone.

Answers

Answer:

V= 50.27

Step-by-step explanation:

V=(3.14)4^2(3/3)

50.27

The volume of the cone created by mike with diameter of 3 feet is 50.24 feet³

Volume of cone-based problem:

What information do we have?

Diameter of cone = 8 feet

Height of cone = 3 feet

Radius of cone = 8 / 2

Radius of cone = 4 feet

Volume of cone = (1/3)(π)(r²)(h)

Volume of cone = (1/3)(3.14)(4²)(3)

Volume of cone = (1/3)(3.14)(16)(3)

Volume of cone = 50.24 feet³

Explain how to tell if two terms are alike. Show one pair of like terms that each contain at least two variables. Show how to add these like terms. Then show a second pair of terms that are NOT alike, but share some of the same variables. Explain why they are not alike.

Answers

Answer:

Two mathematical terms are alike (not alike) , if they have same (different) variables & in same (different) mathematical treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two mathematical terms are alike, if they have same variables & in same mathematical treatment.

Eg : 2 xy , 5 xy. These are alike, as they have product of x & y being multiplied with constants.

They can be added, subtracted by adding or subtracting their constants.

2 xy + 5 xy =  (2 + 5) xy = 7 xy

5 xy - 2 xy =  ( 5- 2 ) xy = 3 xy

Two mathematical terms that are not alike are : 2 xy & 5xz , as former has variables x & y, latter has variables x & z
