Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour charges of mechanic A = $95

Per hour charges of mechanic B = $75

Total hours worked = 20

Total amount charged = $1800

Let,

x represent the number of hours of mechanic A

y represent the number of hours of mechanic B

According to given statement;

x+y=20          Eqn 1

95x+75y=1800   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 95

95(x+y=20)\\95x+95y=1900\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(95x+95y)-(95x+75y)=1900-1800\\95x+95y-95x-75y=100\\20y=100

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{100}{20}\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=20\\x=20-5\\x=15

Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Roberto wants to display his 18 sports cards in an album. Some pages hold 2 cards and others hold 3 cards. How many different wa
Ratling [72]
<span>65 = number of different arrangements of 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card slots equals 18. 416,154,290,872,320,000 = number of different ways of arranging 18 cards on the above 65 different arrangements of page sizes. ===== This is a rather badly worded question in that some assumptions aren't mentioned. The assumptions being: 1. The card's are not interchangeable. So number of possible permutations of the 18 cards is 18!. 2. That all of the pages must be filled. Since the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, that means that 2 pages of 3 cards can only be interchanged with 3 pages of 2 cards. So with that said, we have the following configurations. 6x3 card pages. Only 1 possible configuration. 4x3 cards and 3x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 7!/4!3! = 35 different ways. 2x3 cards and 6x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 8!/2!6! = 28 ways 9x2 card pages. These can only be arranged in 1 way. So the total number of possible pages and the orders in which that they can be arranged is 1+35+28+1 = 65 possible combinations. Now for each of those 65 possible ways of placing 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card spaces is 18 has to be multiplied by the number of possible ways to arrange 18 cards which is 18! = 6402373705728000. So the total amount of arranging those cards is 6402373705728000 * 65 = 416,154,290,872,320,000</span>

Find a polynomial function of degree 3 such that f(10)=17 and the zeros of f are 0, 5 and 8
fomenos

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(0) = f(5) = f(8) = 0, we have f(x) = Ax(x - 5)(x - 8), where A is a real constant.

We know that f(10) = 17.

=> A(10)(10 - 5)(10 - 8) = 17

=> A(10)(5)(2) = 17

=> 100A = 17, A = 0.17.

Hence the answer is f(x) = 0.17x(x - 5)(x - 8).

WITCHER [35]
To solve this problem you must follow the proccedure shown below:

 1. Amount of lemonade in pints:

 1 <span>quart of water=2 pints
 1 pint of lemon
 (9  ounces of honey)(0.0625 pints/1 ounce)=0.56 pints

 Total in pints=2 pints+1 pint+0.56 pints
 Total in pints=3.56 pints

 2. </span>Amount of lemonade in<span> cups:

 Total in cups=(3.56 pints)(2 cups/1 pint)
 Total in cups=7.12 cups

 
3. </span>Amount of lemonade in<span> ounces:

 Total in ounces=(7.12  cups)(8 ounces/1 cup)
 Total in ounces=56.96 ounces</span>
