Peter works two part time jobs. He is paid $6 er hour at job a and $9 per hour at job b. Last wee eter worked a total of 24 hours at both jobs and madr $189. Hobmny hours dud peter work at job a?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Peter worked 9 hours at job a

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the number of hours worked in  job a = x

and number of hours worked in job b = y such that the total hours worked would be expressed as

x=y= 24 ---eqn 1

also since $6 and $9 dollar are paid per hour for the job  and the total amount made is $189, it should be expressed as

6x + 9y =$189--- equation 2

Step 2

Now we have gotten two expressions to solve for number of hours, we can now solve

x+y= 24 ---eqn 1

6x + 9y =$189--- eqn 2

Using elimination method, we multiply equation 1 by 6 and subtract from equation 2

6x + 9y =189

-6x+6y=144

3y=45

y= 45/3 =15

To find x

x+y = 24

x+15=24

x= 24-15

x= 9

fff

Therefore Peter worked 9 hours at job a  and 15 hours at job b

At one store, a 2-liter bottle of soda costs $2.12. At another store, a 3-liter bottle costs $3.15. Which bottle is a better deal? Write a division equation for each 2-liter bottle, and then decide which is the better deal.

Answers

Answer:

The 3 liter bottle has a better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

Which bottle is a better deal?

For the 2 liter bottle

At one store, a 2-liter bottle of soda costs $2.12.

2 liter bottle = $2.12

1 liter bottle = x

Cross Multiply

2x = $2.12

x = $2.12/2

x = $1.06

Hence, this is $1.06 per liter

For the 3 liter bottle

At another store, a 3-liter bottle costs $3.15.

3 liter bottle = $3.15

1 liter bottle = x

Cross Multiply

3x = $3.15

x = $3.15/3

x = $1.05

Hence, this is $1.05 per liter

Therefore, the bottle which is a better deal is the 3 liter bottle because, 1 liter goes for $1.05

6x+5y=39

3x+5y=27

Answers

Answer: x=4 and y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We start eliminating the same numbers with the same variable. So we take out 5y on both equation. We then subract 3x to 6x and we do the same to the right side. We end up having 3x=12 and then we divide 12/3=4. We plug 4 on the x values in one of the equation to find out the y value on that equation. You end up with y=3 and then plug that in the same equation on both to see if its right. Finally after that its correct.

The table shows the test scores and the sleep averages of several students.

a. Write the least squares regression equation that models the data. Let x = hours of sleep and y = test score.

b. Use the equation to determine the approximate test score of a student who sleeps an average of 8 h a night. Show your work.

Answers

hey someone else has already answered this!

a. To find the least squares regression equation for a group of (x,y) points:

Step 1: For each point(x,y), we need to calculate x² and xy first.

Step 2: Sum all x, y, x² and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx² and Σxy

Step 3: Calculate Slope m: m = (NΣxy − Σx Σy)/ N(Σx²) − (Σx)² , here N is the number of data.

Step 4: Calculate Intercept b: b = Σy − m(Σx)/ N

Step 5: Assemble the equation as y= mx+b

Here, we have ∑x = 120, ∑y= 1379, ∑x²= 919.5, ∑xy= 10466 and N= 16

So, m= (NΣxy − Σx Σy)/ N(Σx²) − (Σx)²

=

=

=  

= 6.33

and b = Σy − m(Σx)/ N

=

=

=

= 38.71

So, the least squares regression equation is : y= mx+b ⇒ y= 6.33x +38.71

b. When x= 8, then y= (6.33×8)+38.71 = 50.64 + 38.71 =89.35

The approximate test score of a student who sleeps an average of 8 h a night is 89.35%

EVERYTHING IS FROM sicista on brainly!

Answer:

A way to write the least regression equation that models is data y = mx + b => y= 6.33x + 38.71 and as for problem B when X = 8 then y = (6.33 x 8) + 38.71 = 50.64 = 38.71 = 89.35 so the estimated test score of a student who sleeps eight hours a night is equal to 89.39%
