Answer:
Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that
- 21x=3·7·x;
- 56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.
Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.
Thus,
21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).
Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.
Using the first equation:
4x = y + 3 ---> y = 4x - 3
We then substitute this into the second equation:
7x - 9(4x-3) = -2 ---> 7x - 9x + 27 = -2 ---> -2x = -29 ---> x = 14.5
In total there are 5 kids so
5÷3.5=1.4

Answer:
x+7y
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, lets split the question into both x and y.
3x - 2x for the x
11y - 4y for the y
You can solve both of them to get x + 7y
3x - 2x = x
11y - 4y = 7y
Then, add them back up and get x + 7y
Joe completes an average of (10 ft)/(5 h) = 2 ft/hour. Bill completes an average of (10 ft)/(4 h) = 2.5 ft/hour. Together, they complete 2+2.5 = 4.5 ft/hour. At that rate, it will take them
... (120 ft)/(4.5 ft/h) = 26 2/3 h
