Mason owns a trucking company. For every truck that goes out, Mason must pay the driver $13 per hour of driving and also has an

expense of $1 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 30 miles per hour and Mason's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $258. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours the driver worked and the number of miles the truck drove. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer: The required system of equations are

y = 30x

13x + y = 258

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours

that the driver worked.

Let y represent the number of miles that the truck drove.

For every truck that goes out, Mason must pay the driver $13 per hour of driving and also has an expense of $1 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. If on a particular day, his total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $258, it means that

13x + y = 258

On that particular day, the driver drove an average of 30 miles per hour.

Speed = distance/time

It means that

y/x = 30

y = 30x

A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters
AveGali [126]
When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace h with 0 in our equation, and solve for t:
0=43-4t-5t^{2}
-5t^{2}-4t+43=0
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}.
From our height equation, we can infer that a=-5, b=-4, and c=43. So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find t
t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}
t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8} or t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}
t=-3.96 or t=2.71
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.71 is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.

At one of New York’s traffic signals, if more than 17 cars are held up at the intersection, a traffic officer will intervene and
Alinara [238K]
Scenarios B, D, and F require a police officer. In scenario B, 1:00-2:00pm, and scenario F, 5:00-6:00pm, there are 24 cars. In scenario D, 3:00-4:00pm, there are 21 cars. Both 24 and 21 are greater than 17, so a traffic officer is needed. However, in other scenarios, the number of cars are all less than 17, and no officer is needed.

Three pounds of squid can be purchased at the market for $18. Determine the equation and represent the function that defines the
olga_2 [115]
From the information given,

3 pounds = $18

Therefore, 1 pound = 18/3 = $6 (this can be treated as a constant of proportionality) such that,

Cost,C = 6*Weight, W (pounds)

Equation;

C = 6W, where C = Cost in $, and W = Weight in pounds.

A stadium brings in $16.25 million per year. it pays football-related expenses of $13.5 million and stadium expenses of $2.7 mil
Ganezh [65]
We have that

Profit margin is calculated by finding the net profit as a percentage of the revenue

Profit margin = [Net profit / Revenue]

Net profit= [Revenue-Cost]

we know that

Revenue = $16.25 million

Cost = $13.5 million + $2.7 million

Net profit = [16.25 million - (13.5 million + 2.7 million)]

Net profit = $0.05 million

Profit margin = 0.05 / 16.25

Profit margin = 0.003077 or 0.3077%

A worker is paid rs. 2130 for 6 days .if his total wage during a month is rs. 9230 find the number of days he worked in the mont
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

26 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 days = rs. 2130

then 1 day = (2130 × 1) ÷ 6

Therefore 1 day = rs 355

For rs. 9230, the number of days he worked:

= 9230 ÷ 355

= 26 days
