Caleb made $105 mowing lawns and walking dogs, charging the rates shown. If he mowed half as many lawns as dogs walked, how many lawns did he mow and how many dogs did he walk? $7.50 for walking dogs and $20 for mowing lawns
Answer:
Caleb mowed 3 lawns and walked 10 dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs he walked be 'd'.
Let number of lawn he mowed be 'l'.
Given:
If he mowed half as many lawns as dogs walked
So we can say that;
Now given:
Cost for mowing each lawn = $20
Cost for walking each dog = $7.50
Total amount made = $105
Now we can say that;
Total amount made is equal to Cost for mowing each lawn multiplied by number of lawn he mowed and Cost walking each dog multiplied by number of lawn he mowed.
framing in equation form we get;
Substituting equation 1 in equation 2 we get;
Applying distributive property we get;
Dividing both side by 17.5 we get;
Substituting the value of 'd' in equation 1 we get;
Hence Caleb mowed 3 lawns and walked 10 dogs.

1. Line l; point P not on l.( Take a line I and mark point P outside it or on the line.So from point P there are infinite number of lines out of which only one line is parallel to line I. Suppose you are taking point P on line I, from that point P also infinite number of lines can be drawn but only one line will be coincident or parallel to line I.
2. Plane R is parallel to plane S; Plane T cuts planes R and S.(Imagine you are sitting inside a room ,consider two walls opposite to each other as two planes R and S and floor on which you are sitting as third plane T ,so R and S are parallel and plane T is cutting them so in this case their lines of intersect .But this is not possible in each and every case, suppose R and S planes are parallel to each other and Plane T cuts them like two faces of a building and third plane T is stairs or suppose it is in slanting position i.e not parallel to R and S so in this case also lines of intersection will be parallel.
3. △ABC with midpoints M and N.( As you know if we take a triangle ABC ,the mid points of sides AB and AC being M and N, so the line joining the mid point of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and is half of it.
4.Point B is between points A and C.( Take a line segment AC. Mark any point B anywhere on the line segment AC. Three possibilities arises
(i) AB > BC (ii) AB < BC (iii) AB = BC
Since A, B,C are collinear .So in each case
