Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have is a general equation that says this in words:
Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours
Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's. We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x". That makes Doug's hours "x + 40". Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:
x + x + 40 = 250 and
2x = 210 so
x = 105
Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked. Doug worked 145. As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly. 105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
8/2(2+2)
- According to the rules of BEDMAS, solve the values inside the bracket.
8/2 (4)
- Simplify the fraction outside the bracket.
4(4)
- Multiply the two values.
= 16
Exponential. A is the answer
Answer:
5b-5
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing these kinds of problems you want to do dributive property which means you multiply whatever number is outside of the (), which is 5, and multiply that by b and 1.
when numbers are outside the () and right next to them without anything like +,-, or a division sign, it means to multiply.
