X= 13
y=16
Work:
x+y=29
x=29-y
x+2y=45
29-y+2y=45
y=45-29
y=16
x=29-16
x=13
In order to find this you need to find a common denominator. 2/3 and 3/4 common denominator would be 12 and so what you do to the bottom you must do to the top. 2x4 is 8 and 3x3 is 9. that would make 8/12 and 9/12. 8 plus nine is 17 and 12 stays there so the answer is 17/12 which equals 1 and 5/10.
15.5-3.5=12. this is how many hours he has worked already.
12/1⅓=9. this is because how many hours he has worked per how many hours he worked per day to show how many days he worked
the answer is 9 days.
12hours * 1day/1⅓ hours
^^ignore that if it doesn't make sense, but basically the hours will cancel and you'd be left with days as your only unit to show why you would divide 12 by 1⅓
hope this helped!
