Let us try to formulate the expressions one by one.
let the number be x.
Step 1:
six time the number is 6*x = 6x
Step 2:
product of the number and -3 is -3x
Step 3:
now let us make equation for it:
adding 3x on the left side,
dividing right side by 9
x=45/9 = 5
So the number is x=5
Answer:
3 hours 40 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that we have 1320 garments and it takes an employee 20 seconds to tag a garment.
1 employee tags one garment in 20 seconds.
So garments tagged by 1 employees in 1 minute will be garments.
2 employees will tag 3*2=6 garments in 1 minute.
To find the total time it will take two employees to tag all the garments we will divide total number of garments by 6.
Therefore, it will take 220 minutes or 3 hours and 40 minutes for 2 employees to tag 1320 garments.
