Answer:8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Lester worked 12 hours last week at the Grocery Store and earned $93.00

Using Unitary method to get 1 hour pay

i.e. for 1 hour Lester is paid $\frac{93}{12}$ =$7.75 per hour

To earn $62 dollar Lester has to work for another

$\frac{62}{7.75}$ =8 hours

Thus Lester has to work for 8 hours to earn $62.

93 / 12 = 7.75

so Lester earns $7.75 a hour.

if he earns $62 how many hours did he work.

so 62 = 7.75 (h)

62/ 7.75 = 8

so he worked 8 hours.

Answer:

$W=\dfrac{P}{2}-L$

Step-by-step explanation:

$P=2L+2W \qquad\text{given}\\\\P-2L=2W \qquad\text{subtract $2L$}\\\\\dfrac{P-2L}{2}=W \qquad\text{divide by 2}\\\\W=\dfrac{P}{2}-L \qquad\text{carry out the division}$

This formula does not seem to be among the answer choices.

W = (P/2) -L

Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$(8,-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

$3x+3y=21$

$6x+12y=36$

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

$x+y=7$

$x+2y=6$

We could solve the first equation for $x$ and replace the second $x$ with that.

Let's do that.

$x+y=7$

Subtract $y$ on both sides:

$x=7-y$

So we are replacing the second $x$ in the second equation with $(7-y)$ which gives us:

$(7-y)+2y=6$

$7-y+2y=6$

$7+y=6$

$y=6-7$

$y=-1$

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that $x$ was the subject. I'm referring to $x=7-y$ .

We can now find $x$ given that $y=-1$ using the equation $x=7-y$ .

Let's do that.

$x=7-y$ with $y=-1$ :

$x=7-(-1)$

$x=7+1$

$x=8$

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

$3x+3y=21$ with $(x,y)=(8,-1)$ :

$3(8)+3(-1)=21$

$24+(-3)=21$

$21=21$ is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

$6x+12y=36$ with $(x,y)=(8,-1)$ :

$6(8)+12(-1)=36$

$48+(-12)=36$

$36=36$ is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.

Andrews [41]

3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

T varies inversely as the square root of u.<br>t = 3 when u = 4.<br>Find t when u = 49.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

t = $\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that t varies inversely as the square root of u then the equation relating them is

t = $\frac{k}{\sqrt{u} }$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition t = 3 when u = 4, thus

k = t $\sqrt{u}$ = 3 × $\sqrt{4}$ = 3 × 2 = 6

t = $\frac{6}{\sqrt{u} }$ ← equation of variation

When u = 49, then

t = $\frac{6}{\sqrt{49} }$ = $\frac{6}{7}$
