Multiply each hourly rate by x ( time to complete the work) add it to the service call for each and then set the equations equal:
50 + 40x = 30 +45x
Subtract 30 from both sides:
20 + 40x = 45x
Subtract 40x from both sides:
20 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5
x = 4
The length is 4 hours.
Answer:
3 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(The answer is 12.082.) Juan used 12.082 meters of rope.
3x+20=5x+12
-3x -3x
20= 2x +12
-12 -12
8=2x
Divide both sides by two
4=x
It will take four days (this is how to solve algebraically)
I think it would be 2 because it looks like 6 is the total and 3 is a side number so if you were to multiply 3 times 2 it would be 6. I hope this is correct!
