Answer:
The first step would be to multiply 2x - 1 by 6, which would be 12x - 6 .
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.
-2 degrees because 4 times -3 is -12 and 10-12 is -2
<h2>
The required positive number is 7.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number = x
To find, the positive number = ?
According to question,

⇒
- 3x - 28 = 0
By Factorisation method,
⇒
- 7x + 4x - 28 = 0
⇒ x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7) = 0
⇒ (x - 7)(x + 4) = 0
⇒ x - 7 = 0 or, x + 4 = 0
⇒ x = 7 or, x = - 4 [ - 4 is a negative number)
⇒ x = 7
Thus, the required positive number is 7.
