Answer:
option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=3+3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1+4x/6=3.5
We move all terms to the left:
1+4x/6-(3.5)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
4x/6-2.5=0
We multiply all the terms by the denominator
4x-(2.5)*6=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
4x-15=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
4x=15
x=15/4
x=3+3/4
By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation
, we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.
