Answer:
Michael worked 4 hours and Landon worked 10 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Michael can iron 40 shirts each hour, so in xx hours he can iron 40x40x shirts. Landon can iron 20 shirts each hour, so in yy hours he can iron 20y20y shirts. The total number of shirts ironed 40x+20y equals 360:
40x+20y=360
40x+20y=360
Since Michael and Landon worked a combined 14 hours, we know x+yx+y must equal 14.
x+y=14
Write System of Equations:
40x+20y= 360
x+y=14
Solve for y in each equation:
40x+20y = 360 x+y = 14 20y = -40x+360
=
y = -2x+18
Answer:
Kristen bought 2 fancy shirts and 5 plain t-shirts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Kristen spent $131 on 7 shirts.
Cost of one fancy shirt = $28
Cost of one plain t-shirt = $15
Let,
x be the number of fancy shirts
y be the number of plain t-shirts
x+y = 7 Eqn 1
28x+15y=131 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 15
15(x+y=7)
15x+15y=105 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
(28x+15y)-(15x+15y)=131-105
28x+15y-15x+15y=26
13x=26
Dividing both sides by 13
Putting x=2 in Eqn 1
2+y=7
y=7-2
y=5
Hence,
Kristen bought 2 fancy shirts and 5 plain t-shirts.
