Oioj[
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so the equations would be:
x + 3y = 24
3y + 5x = 36
Imma use Substitution to solve this:
x = -3y + 24
3y + 5(-3y + 24) = 36
3y - 15y + 120 = 36
-12y + 120 = 36
-12y = -84
y = 7
x = -3(7) + 24
x = -21 + 24
x = 3
So the first number (x) would be 3 and the second number (y) would be 7.
Answer: it will take 5 people 6.4 hours to do the work.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. Let h represent the number of hours required to do the job. Let p represent the number of people working. Therefore,
h is inversely proportional to p
Introducing a constant of variation, k, it means that
h = k/p
It takes 8 hours for 4 people to paint the inside of a house. Therefore
8 = k/4
k = 8×4 = 32
The formula becomes
h = 32/p
To determine how many hours it will take 5 people to do the work, we will substitute p = 5 into the formula. It becomes
h = 32/5 = 6.4 hours
Answer:
4.75 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We must introduce the symbols for inches and feet.
Here we will use, x' = x feet and x" = x inches
A high school track teams long jump record is 21 feet and 
inches i.e. 21'2.25" this year.
Now, Tim's best long jump is 20 feet and 
inches i.e. 20'9.5".
So, the difference between the record jump and Tim's best jump is
(21'2.25" - 20'9.5")
= (21'2.25" - 21') + (21' - 20'9.5")
= 2.25" + 2.5" {Since, 1' = 12" i.e. 21' = 20' 12"}
= 4.75"
Therefore, Tim has to jump 4.75 inches farther to break the record. (Answer)
