PLEASE RATE AS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER! THANK YOU! :)
Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equations: x is the amount of hours Amber worked and y is the hours Jake worked
8x + 8y = 120
y = 3 + x
Substitute the second equation into the first
8x + 8(3+x) = 120
Distribute
8x + 24 + 8x = 120
Combine like-terms
16x + 24 = 120
Subtract 24 on both sides
16x = 96
Divide 16 on both sides
x = 6 (hours Amber worked)
Plug in this x-value into on of the two equations. I will use the second
y = 3 + 6
y = 9
Answer:
2 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the denominators are different, and there are whole numbers involved, then first make the fractions improper.
4 1/2 -> 9/2
6 2/3 -> 20/3
Next, make the denominators the same by multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the other.
9/2 * 3 = 27/6
20/3 * 2 = 40/6
Then you can subtract the numerators because the denominators are the same:
40/6-27/6= 13/6
Then you can convert to a mixed fraction if need be.
4x+(-3)=-2x-5
4x-3 = -2x-5
add 2x to each side
6x-3 =-5
add 3 to each side
6x = -2
divide by 6
x = -2/6
divide top and bottom by 2
x = -1/3
