15x + 2 = 45x + 4
Subtract 2 from both sides, as well as subtracting 45x from both sides.
15x - 45x = 4 - 2
-30x = 2
Divide both sides by -30.
x = 2/-30
x = - 1/15

Remember, when raising a term with an exponent to some power, you must multiply the powers.
Answer:
Karl works 7 hours a week
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine total amount that Sally earns
Total amount Sally earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked(h)
where;
Rate per hour=$7 per hour
Number of hours worked=h
Replacing;
Total amount Sally earns=(7×h)=7 h
Step 2: Determine total amount Karl earns
Total amount Karl earns=rate per hour×number of hours worked
where;
rate per hour=$5
number of hours worked=2 more than Sally=h+2
replacing;
Total amount Karl earns=5(h+2)
Step 3: Equate Sally's total earnings to Karl's total earnings and solve for h
7 h=5(h+2)
7 h=5 h+10
7 h-5 h=10
2 h=10
h=10/2
h=5
Karl works (h+2) hours=(5+2)= 7 hours
Karl works 7 hours a week
Answer:
Judy = $5/hr
Ben = $4/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Judy's hours at work - x
Ben's hours at work - y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Given these two equations above, we get:
10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.
Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:
9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65
9x + 40 - 4x = 65
5x = 25
x = 5
Come back to the first equation, substitute x:
8*5 + 10y = 80
10y = 80 - 40
y = 4
