Answer:
28 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Adena, Julius, and Tia volunteered to read to children at the public library.
Let us represent, the number of hours worked by
Adena = x
Julius = y
Tia = z
Julius worked two hours less than Tia.
y = z - 2
z = y + 2
Adena worked twice as many hours as Julius.
x = 2y
Altogether they worked 58 hours.
x + y + z = 58.... Equation 1
We substitute 2y for x and y + 2 for z in Equation 1
2y + y + y + 2 = 58
4y + 2 = 58
Collect like terms
4y = 58 - 2
4y = 56
y = 56/4
y = 14
We are the find the number of hours Adena worked which is represented by x
Note that:
x = 2y
y = 14, hence,
x = 2 × 14
x = 28 hours
Therefore, the number of hours Adena worked is 28 hours
The difference between 11.0 and 12.5 is 1.5 and same with 12.5 and 14.0, so 1.5 is what the hair increases by every THREE months but if you want to find PER month, you are going to divide 1.5 by those 3 months to get .5 inches per month, so your slope will be 1/2
A - B - C =
-3 - 4 + 5 =
-7 + 5 =
-2
negative three minus four plus five is negative two
