Answer:
y=-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
first combine like terms:
5/y-3/y=-2-4
2/y=-6
now multiply y on both sides:
2=-6y
solve the equation
y=-1/3
Answer:
4 hours of rental
Step-by-step explanation:
y1 = 20 + 13.5x
y2 = 6 + 17x
20 + 13.5x = 6 + 17x
20 - 6 = 17x - 13.5x
14 = 3.5x
x = 4
Costs y1 and y2 are equal on renting for 4 hours
If the wall with 4 ft. of storage area can fit 6 sections of plant and the wall with 7 ft. Can fit 5, that means each section is 3 ft. because 7-4=3, so that extra section on the wall with 4 ft. You do this because there is one extra section on the wall with four. Knowing this, the wall with 7 ft. Would be the 7 ft. + 5 sections of 3 ft. So 7+(5x3) = 22. On the wall with 4 ft., do the same,
4+(6x3) =22. Since they are equal and the walls are supposed to be equal, we can confirm this is the right answer
Let Benny's salary = $ K
But kenny earns 142% of Benny's Salary
So, Kenny's salary = 142%of K
Kenny's salary =K 
Kenny's salary = 1.42K
Kenny's income exceeds Benny's by =1.42K - K =$0.42 K
% by which Kenny's salary exceeds by Benny's =
% by which Kenny's salary exceeds by Benny's = 42%
So to figure out 10% of this would be to remove the 0. that would be six. since 30÷10 is 3, we have to do 6×3. that would be 18, so 30% of 60 is 18
