Answer:

Giselle worked 18 hours as blacksmith and 12 hours as carpenter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the number of hours Giselle works as carpenter and B represent the number of hours Giselle works as blacksmith.

We have been given that last week, Giselle worked both jobs for a total of 30 hours. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B+C=30...(1)

We are also told that she earns $25 per hour as a blacksmith, so so amount earned in B hours will be 25B.

As Giselle earns $20 per hour as a carpenter, so amount earned in C hours will be 20C.

Since she earned a total of $690 last week by doing both jobs, we can represent this information in an equation as:

25B+20C=690...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve our system of linear equations.

From equation (1) we will get,

C=30-B

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

25B+20(30-B)=690

25B+600-20B=690

25B+600-600-20B=690-600

25B-20B=690-600

5B=90

\frac{5B}{5}=\frac{90}

B=18

Therefore, Giselle worked 18 hours as blacksmith.

Upon substituting B=18 in equation (1) we will get,

18+C=30

18-18+C=30-18

C=12

Therefore, Giselle worked 12 hours as carpenter.

Sarita showed the steps to solving the equation. 5 (x minus 3) + 7 (x + 4) = 73 Steps Sarita's Solution Sarita's Verification 1
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification. Sarita was supposed to add the 5 and 7 in the first step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation:

The steps to solve it are:

5(x-3)+7(x+4)-73

1. Apply the Distributive property:

5x-15+7x+28=73

2. Add the like terms:

12x+13=73

3. Subtract5 13 from both sides of the equation:

12x+13-(13)=73-(13

12x=60

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 12:

12r/12 = 60/12

x = 5

To verify it, let's substitute  into the equation:

5(5-3)+7(5+4)=73

Evaluating, we get:

5(2)+7(9)=73

10+63=73

73=73

Based on this, we can determine that Sarita's solution is correct, but she made an error in her verification (Observe that 5-3 is not equal to -2 )
