So firstly let’s set a ‘algebra’
Let’s make the hours working after school as ‘x’
So Chase works totally 18 hours last week
So the hours he works on Saturday is (18-x)
And given the salary of working after school is $8 per hour,and the salary of working on Saturday is $10,and he earned $156
So with these we can write a equation
8x+10(18-x)=156
solve it,
8x+180-10x=156
-2x=-24
X=12
as I said x is the hour working after school
The hour working on Saturday should be 18-x
18-12=6
Answer is 6

Simplify 7 - 2(5 - 2x) -10x + 25 -4x - 3
Kisachek [45]

Hi,

Let's simplify this equation step-by-step.

7−2(5−2x)−10x+25−4x−3

Distribute:

=7+(−2)(5)+(−2)(−2x)+−10x+25+−4x+−3

=7+−10+4x+−10x+25+−4x+−3

Combine Like Terms:

=7+−10+4x+−10x+25+−4x+−3

=(4x+−10x+−4x)+(7+−10+25+−3)

=−10x+19

Answer:

=−10x+19

Have a great day!
