Let x = the number of boxes they need to sell to get to 180
(1 1/8) * x + 75*(1 1/8) = 180 There's a number of ways you could solve this. I think the easiest way (or the easiest to explain) is to start by converting 1 1/8 to a decimal
1/8 = 0.125
1 1/8 = 1 + 0.125
1 1/8 = 1.125 Put this result in the equation.
1.125x + 75 * 1.125 = 180
1.125x + 84.375 = 180 Subtract 84.375 on both sides.
1.125x = 180 - 84.375
1.125x = 96.625 Divide by 1.125
x = 96.625 / 1.125
x = 85
They must sell 85 more boxes to raise 180 dollars.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The required answer is the rate at which Machine A works when the two machines are combined.
Note: the rate of doing work is express as

Hence we can conclude that Machine A working rate is
and machine B working rate is

When the two machine works together, the effective working rate is

The fraction of the work that Machine B will not have complete because of Machine A help is the total work done by machine A
Hence the fraction of work done by A is expressed as


Hence the fraction of the work that Machine B will not have complete because of Machine A help is the total work done by machine A is 
39.5 all you have to do is divide 158 and 4 which gives you 39.5
hoipe this helped
Substitute 1 for x in each of your equations.
f(x)=7-3x
which is
f(1)=7-3(1)
=3
Do the same for g(x)
g(x)=3x-7
which is
g(1)=3(1)-7
=-4
Then subtract g(x) from f(x):
3-(-4)
=7
