Since each barber works 8 hours per day, it means that the barber shop conducts 112 haircuts in 8 hours. This means that it conducts


\cfrac{112}{8} = 14


cuts per hour. Every barber can conduct two haircuts per hour. This means that a generic number b of barbers conducts 2b cuts per hour. But we already know that the shop conducts 14 cuts per hour, so the number of barbers is given by


2b = 14 \iff b = \cfrac{14}{2} = 7

What is the difference between a two step equation and a multi-step equation?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

When solving a multi step equation, you use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, add, subtract), and you also use PEMDAS when solving a multi step inequality. However, inequalities are tricky in the fact that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the sign. And while normally there are 1 or 2 solutions to a multi step equation, in the form of x= #, you'll have the same thing, but with an inequality sign (or signs).

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that takes you two steps to solve. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign.

hope it helped

You and your friend collect 180 cans for a food drive. The ratio of cans you collected to cans your friend collected is 4 to 5.
marissa [1.9K]
Are you looking for the number of cans you and your friend each collected? If yes, here is the solution:

Let x be the number of cans.

4x + 5x = 180
        9x = 180
     9x/9 = 180/9 (divide both sides of the equation by 9)
          x = 20

Now, substitute the values:
4(20) + 5(20) = 180
       80 + 100 = 180
               180 = 180

Therefore, you collected 80 cans and your friend collected 100 cans.
