It takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes
To find: Time taken to paint 1 square feet
From given,
96 square feet is painted in 15 minutes
Let "x" be the time taken to paint 1 square feet
Then, we can say,
96 square feet = 15 minutes
1 square feet = x minutes
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
Thus it takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
<h2><u><em>Divide and subtract from both sides</em></u></h2>
Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 x + 3 = 7
1/6 x = 4
x = 24
Let's assume two variables x and y which represent the local and international calls respectively.
x + y = 852 = total number of minutes which were consumed by the company (equation 1)
0.06*x+ 0.15 y =69.84 = total price which was charged for the phone calls (Equation 2)
from equation 1:-
x=852 -y (sub in equation 2)
0.06 (852 - y) + 0.15 y =69.84
51.12 -0.06 y +0.15 y =69.84 (subtracting both sides by 51.12)
0.09 y =18.74
y= 208 minutes = international minutes (sub in 1)
208+x=852 (By subtracting both sides by 208)
x = 852-208 = 644 minutes = local minutes
Here is the answer
I did it with steps
3a+2(4a-1)=9
3a+8a-2=9
11a=11
a=1
