Answer:
I beleive it is the first one, but I am not 100% sure. Sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
N - the number
14 + n = 17 |subtract 14 from both sides
n = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(i). a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c
-35+(10-5) = (-35+10)+(-5)
-35+5 = -25-5
-30 = -30
(ii). a×(b+c) = a×b + a×c
-35 × [10+(-5)] = -35×10 + -35×-5
-35 × (10-5) = -350 + 175
-35 × 5 = -350 + 175
-175 = -175
Graham: -50x + 14,040
Max: 20x + 12,500
Graham = Max
-50x + 14,040 = 20x + 12,500
<u>+50x </u> <u>+50x </u>
14,040 = 70x + 12,500
<u> -12,500 </u> <u> -12.500 </u>
1,540 = 70x

220 = x
Answer: 220 minutes <em>(3 hours 40 minutes)</em>
so you have your two equations 3x+7=5x-23 and solve for x which is your "number" leaving the answer to be <u>x=15</u>
