You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C

Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)

Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9

Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9

Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95

Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79

Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58            -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H

Find the perimeter of the figure
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

To find the perimeter of any figure all you have to do is add up all of the side lengths

5+5+7+11+7+16=53

so the perimeter is equal to 51

Note: the 18 is from the bottom length of the figure

you would have to add the 5 and 11

the extra seven is from the very right side length

If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
