Answer: the older brother must work for 14 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that the younger brother must work.

Two brothers decide that a 21-hour task is to be divided so that the older brother works twice as long as the younger brother. This means that the number of hours that the older brother must work is expressed as 2x.

Since the total number of hours is 21, then

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

The number of hours that the older brother must work is

2x = 2 × 7 = 14 hours

The older bro does twice as younger so it would be 2x long and younger brother work x long

the older brother must work 2 × 7 = 14 hours long

Building a is 190 feet shorter than building
MaRussiya [10]
We will solve this using a system of equations.  The first part tells us that building a is 190 feet shorter than building b.  Our first equation, then, is b=190+a.  The second part tells us that the addition of the two buildings' heights is 1480.  So our second equation is a + b = 1480.  The first equation is already solved for b, so let's sub that value into the second equation for b: a+(190+a)=1480.  2a + 190 = 1480 and 2a = 1290.  That means that building a is 645 feet tall.  Building b is 190 feet taller, so b = 190 + 645, which is 835.

Last year 190 student attended the spring dance and the total cost was 1250. Two years ago 175 people attended and the total cos

Unit cost of a ticket = Income from ticket sales / number of tickets sold:

$1250
--------------- = $6.58 per ticket
190 tickets

Again:

$1175
--------------- = $6.71
175 tickets

While ticket prices do change (usually increase) from year to year, it's unusual to see such a situation here.

Don't have any guidelines by which to determine the "fixed cost of a ticket".

If we use the cost of a ticket of 2 years ago ($6.58/ticket), then the income from the sale of 225 tickets this year would be ($6.58/ticket)(225 tickets), or $1480.50.
