Answer:
Michael worked 4 hours and Landon worked 10 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Michael can iron 40 shirts each hour, so in xx hours he can iron 40x40x shirts. Landon can iron 20 shirts each hour, so in yy hours he can iron 20y20y shirts. The total number of shirts ironed 40x+20y equals 360:
40x+20y=360
40x+20y=360
Since Michael and Landon worked a combined 14 hours, we know x+yx+y must equal 14.
x+y=14
Write System of Equations:
40x+20y= 360
x+y=14
Solve for y in each equation:
40x+20y = 360 x+y = 14 20y = -40x+360
=
y = -2x+18
MKL = 83, JKL = 127, JKM = 9x - 10 <em>given</em>
JKL + MKL = JKM <em>angle addition postulate</em>
127 + 83 = 9x - 10 <em>substitution</em>
210 = 9x - 10 <em>simplify (add like terms)</em>
220 = 9x <em>addition property of equality</em>
= x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
