Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?
Answer
If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building
1
7
of the fence every hour.
Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be
x
hours so that Frank takes
2
x
hours. Sandy can build
1
x
of the fence every hour and Frank can build
1
2
x
of the fence every hour.
We now have the following equation to solve.

Thus, Sandy takes
10.50
hours and Frank takes
21
hours.

Answer:
The last option
Step-by-step explanation:
It can't be 100 added to any, as that would make y greater than x when it is not. And, 35x and 3.5x would be too much.
y = 0.35x + 1.5
y = 0.35(100) +1.5
y = 35 + 1.5
y = 36.5
x = 100, y = 36.5 Which is the first set when x is not 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 25 ...........................(1)
{4x + 2y =64} / 2 divide the equation by 2
2x + y = 32 ........................(3)
Step Two
subtract (1) from (3)
2x + y = 32
x + y = 25
x = 7
Therefore from equation 1 we get x + y = 25
but x = 7
7 + y = 25 Subtract 7 from both sides.
y = 25 - 7
y = 18
Check
4*x + 2*y = 64
4*7 + 2*18 =? 64
28 + 36 = ? 64
64 = 64
The checks out to be the right answer.
This is a true statement! thank you!
