Hello.
The solutions found to radical equations are not necessarily viable. They sometimes result in inequalities, and have to be checked.
Hope I helped.
Answer 40 cm in the squade
<h2>
Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
They spent $176 together.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
We are given an expression which represents the money spent for each girl, it's a function of time and it will show how much they can spend in terms of hours.
Assuming that you have committed a mistake writing the equation, otherwise, the given options would not fit, the expression is:

Now, from the statement we know that the function represents how much money each girl spent, so, if we need to calculate how much money they will spend together, we need to multiply the expression by 2, so we have:

Then, calculating the spent money for 2 hours, we need to substitute the variable "x" with 2.
Calculating we have:


Hence, we have that they spent $176 together.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
Let us assume the total number of students surveyed = x
Then
Number of students preferring red = x/4
Number of students preferring blue = x/8
Then
Number of students remaining = x - [(x/4) + (x/8)]
=x - [(2x + x)/8)
= x - (3x/8)
= (8x - 3x)/8
= 5x/8
Number of students preferring the color green = (3/5) * (5x/8)
= 3x/8
We also know that the total number of students preferring the color green is 15
So
3x/8 = 15
3x = 15 * 8
x = (15 * 8)/3
= 5 * 8
= 40
So in total 40 students were surveyed. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
