Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Answer:
3/3=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(4+(4•(x-2)))-(2•(x+1)-x) = 0
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(4 + 4 • (x - 2)) - (x + 2) = 0
Step 3 :
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)
Equation at the end of step 4 :
3 • (x - 2) = 0
Step 5 :
Equations which are never true :
5.1 Solve : 3 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
5.2 Solve : x-2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides of the equation :
x = 2
One solution was found :
x = 2

plz mark me as brainliest :)
Set the equations equal to each other
Subtract x from both sides
Divide both sides by -4
x=-1/2
