I will rewrite the question for better understanding:

Ashley recently opened a store that uses only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes Ashley 2/3 of a minute to prepare one bag. It takes each of her friends 75% longer to prepare a bag. How many hours will it take Ashley and 4 of her friends to prepare 1575 bags of samples?

Answer:

  • <em><u>5.3 hours</u></em>

Explanation:

<u>1) Time it takes Ashley to preprate one bag: </u>

  • 2/3 min

<u>2) Time it takes each friend of Ashley: 75% more than 2/3 min</u>

  • 75% × 2/3 min = 0.75 × 2/3 min = 3/4 × 2/3 min= 2/4 min = 1/2 min = 0.5 min
  • 2/3 min + 1/2 min = 7/6 min

<u>3) Time it takes Ashley and the 4 friends working along to prepare one bag:</u>

  • Convert each time into a rate, since you can set that the total rate of Ashley along with her four friends is equal to the sum of each rate:

  • Rate of Ashley: 1 bag / (2/3) min = 3/2 bag/min

  • Rate of each friend: 1 bag / (7/6) min = 6/7 bag/min

  • Rate of Ashley and 4 friends = 3/2 bag/min + 4 × 6/7 bag/min = (3/2 +24/7) bag/min = 69/14 bag/min

<u>4) Time of prepare 1575 bags of samples:</u>

  • time = number of bags / number of bags per min = 1,575 bags / (69/14) bags/min = 319.56 min

<u>5) Convert minutes to hours:</u>

  • 356.56 min × 1 hour / 60 min = 5.3 hours

2x - 3y = 13 x + 2y = -4
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

(2, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = 13 → (1)

x + 2y = - 4 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = - 4 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = - 4 - 2y into (1)

2(- 4 - 2y) - 3y = 13 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 8 - 4y - 3y = 13

- 8 - 7y = 13 ( add 8 to both sides )

- 7y = 21 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - 4 - 2(- 3) = - 4 + 6 = 2

Solution is (2, - 3 )

Solve system of equations for x + y: -4x + 9y = -11 &amp; -3x + 7y =-9
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

x = -3   and   y = -4

x + y = -3-4 = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 9y = -11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

-3x + 7y = -9--------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)

multiply through  equation (1) by 3   and multiply through equation(2) by 4

-12x + 27y = -33 -----------------------------------------------------------------------(3)

-12x + 28y   = -36 ----------------------------------------------------------------------(4)

subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

y = -3

substitute y = -3 into equation (2)

-3x + 7(-3) = -9

-3x -21 = -9

add 21 to both-side of the equation

-3x -21 + 21 = -9 + 21

-3x = 12

divide both-side of the equation by -3

-3x/-3 = 12/-3

x = -4

x = -3   and   y = -4
