It should take 2.2 hours, since 5.5 / 2.5 = 2.2.
Answer:
11x + 8 +8x +12 =27 (drop the parenthesis, there's no actual need for them)
19x +20 =27 (i combined like terms and then subtracted 20 from both sides)
19x = 7 (divide both sides by 19 to get x alone)
x= 7/19 or 0.36842105 (the answer)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equal number of hours be represented by variable H;
The two equations will be as follows;
Jack; 40 +30H
Mark; 50 +25H
Next, equate them;
40 + 30H = 50 + 25H
30H - 25H = 50 - 40
5H = 10
H =10/5
H = 2hrs
Therefore, they charge the same amount at 2 hrs.
B.) The amount charged;
Replace the variable H in any of the two equations above with 2 to solve for the amount.
Equation 40+30H = 40 + (30*2)
=40 + 60
= $100
