To answer the question above, let x the number of hours for the two jobs to cost equal. Harry's charge can be expressed as 70x + 130 and that of Lou is 80x + 40. Equating both,
70x + 130 = 80x + 40 ; x = 9
Thus, the job should take 9 hours for both charges to be equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(4-14y)=y+50
1/(8 - 28y) = y + 50
8y - 400 - 28y² +
Now you can solve
Since AB and BC are two parts of AC, AC = AB + BC
let's plug the expressions from the question into our equation above.
19 = 3x + 1 + 2x - 7
Combine like terms
19 = 5x - 6
Add 6 to both sides.
25 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5
5 = x
