Answer:
x=7.78
Step-by-step explanation:
142=10x+8x+2
Move all numbers with the same variables to each side to separate them.
142-2=10x+8x
140=18x
Divide by 18.
x= 140/18
x=7.78
50*.6=30
so if you solve this equation it would be 30 dogs in the shelter
The answer you are looking for is 40 hours. they gave you the answer in the statement above when they said he gets time-and-a-half for any hours beyond 40. So he only worked 40 regular pay hours and got 4 hours overtime for time-and-a-half.
Using a calculator, 1200/180 = 6.67 approximately
If you use long division, then you'll get what you see in the diagram below
The 6's go on forever after the decimal point, but if you round to two decimal places, then you'll get that approximate value of 6.67
---------------
If you want a remainder, then 1200/180 = 6 remainder 120
You can think of it like you having 1200 cookies and 180 friends. Each friend will get 6 whole cookies and there will be 120 left over as the remainder.
