Answer: B. Y=2/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
-x/3 = 2
Multiply both sides of -x/3 = 2 by -3:
(-3 (-x))/3 = -3×2
-3×(-1)/3 = (-3 (-1))/3:
(-3 (-1))/3 x = -3×2
(-3)/3 = (3 (-1))/3 = -1:
--1 x = -3×2
(-1)^2 = 1:
x = -3×2
-3×2 = -6:
Answer: x = -6
