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.

-7x>4(-3x-5) do the distributive property

-7x>-12x-20 add 12 x to both sides

5x>-20 divide both sides by 5

x>-4

A plane descends to sea level from 36 comma 400 feet after being airborne for 1 and one half hours. The entire flight time is 3
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

350 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time it took the plane to descend is 3 hours 14 minutes minus 1 hour 30 minutes.

This means it took 104 minutes for the plane to descend 36,400 feet.

Dividing 36400 by 104, you get 350 which is the average rate of descent in feet per minute.

Two-fifths of a number is decreased by three. Find the value of the expression if the number is twenty-five.
Sindrei [870]
Let's take the number as x.

two-fifths of a number = 2x / 5
decreased by 3 = (2x/5) - 3

(2x/5) - 3
(2*25/5) - 3
(2*5) - 3
10 - 3
