Joe's Painting: 20x + 100 = y

Steve's Painting: 15x + 120 = y

x = hours worked

y = total income

We can find when the two equations intersect by making them equal to each other. That means we put an equal sign in the middle. So, it would look something like this:

20x + 100 = 15x + 120

First, we have to move the 100 by subtracting it from both sides.

20x = 15x + 120 - (100)

20x = 15x + 20

Then, we need to move the 15x by subtracting it from both sides.

20 - (15x) = 20

5x = 20

Lastly, we need to divide 5 from both sides.

5x = 20/5

x = 4

Therefore, Joe and Steve would have to work for 4 hours in order for their models to be equal to each other.

The LCM is the lowest number that is a multiple of all three numbers.

12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120

The LCM is 120 because there is no lower number that is a multiple of all three numbers.

Is 2(x - 6) = -35 equivalent to 2x = -23
rusak2 [61]
Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.
