Lily needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 3.5 hours and charged her $159 for parts. The total was $456.50. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x x, the cost of the labor per hour.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer
456.50=159 + 3.5x
OR
3.5x=456.50-159

Reason
456.50 is the total
159 is for the parts
3.5 is the number of hours

So to find the cost you have to find out how much it cost for the labor by subtracting the total cost from the cost of the parts. To find the cost of labor for each hour you have to divide the total cost of labor by the number of hours used to work on the computer
Answer 2

The equation to represent the problem is written as

$456.50 = 3.5x + $159

the cost of the labor per hour is $85.

How to determine the cost of the labor per hour

Let x be the cost of the labor per hour.

The technician worked on the computer for 3.5 hours, so the labor cost would be 3.5x.

The total cost, including the labor and parts, was $456.50.

So, we can set up an equation to represent the total cost:

Total cost = Labor cost + Parts cost

$456.50 = 3.5x + $159

Solving for x:

Subtract $159 from both sides:

$456.50 - $159 = 3.5x

$297.50 = 3.5x

Finally, divide both sides by 3.5 to find the value of x:

x = $297.50 / 3.5

x = $85

Therefore, the cost of the labor per hour is $85.

What is Approximation?

Anything that is similar to something else but not exactly equal to it is an approximation. By rounding, a number can be approximated. By rounding the values contained within a calculation prior to performing the operations, it can be approximated.

Given census of a country is 43406932

Adjusting numbers to the closest 10, 100, 1,000

To rough to the closest ten, check out at the digit during the tens section.

Look at the digit in the hundreds column to approximate to the nearest hundred. Take a look at the digit in the thousands column to determine the nearest thousand.

so the number to the closest is crore

Answers

The zero of the equation [tex]6 =- 16x^2+24x+1[/tex] represents the moment when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.

Given that,

The height y, in feet, of a football x seconds, after it is thrown is modeled by the equation,

[tex]\rm y=- 16x^2+24x+1[/tex]

We have to determine,

What information does the zero of the equation [tex]6 =- 16x^2+24x+1[/tex]represent?

According to the question,

In the quadratic equation for the ball's height, it is found that the zero of the equation represents,

[tex]\rm 6 =- 16x^2+24x+1[/tex]

The instant of the time x is when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.

The height of the ball is y(x), after x seconds, is modeled by:

[tex]\rm y =- 16x^2+24x+1[/tex]

The equation given is,

[tex]\rm y =- 16x^2+24x+1[/tex]

In which the height is 6 feet above the ground, and the zeroes are the instants of time when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.

Hence, These points represent the moment when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.

Answer:

I think it would be 3x(8-5)=(3x6)-(3x3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you answer the left side of the equation, it would be 9:

3x(8-5)

(8-5=3)

then 3x3=9

and on the right side of the equation, if you plug in 6 and 3 + solve the equation you would get 9:

(3x6)-(3x3)

18-9

=9

so all together it would be 9=9 which is true
