Answer:
4
explanation:
well 18 minus 12 would equal 6. correct? so we would add x to 6 so the new equation would be 6 + x = 10 or to make it easier just do 10 - x = 6
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you should be subtract each other by 20x to transfer from side to another side.
Set of equations that can be used to calculate rate for each plumber:
2A+8B+8C = 1,400 --- (1)
4A+7B+10C = 1,660 --- (2)
3A+9B+9C = 1,660 --- (3)
------------------------------------
2*(1) - (2)
------------------------------------
4A+16B+16C = 2,800
4A+7B+10C = 1,660 -
------------------------------------
9B+6C = 1,140 --- (4)
------------------------------------
3(2) -4(3)
-----------------------------------
12A+21B+30C = 4,980
12A+36B+36C = 6,600 -
-----------------------------------
-15B-6C = -1,620 --- (5)
------------------------------------
(4) + (5)
------------------------------------
9B+6C = 1140
-15B-6C = -1620 +
-------------------------------------
-6B = -480 => 6B = 480 => B = 480/6 = 80
-------------------------------------------------------
Using (4), 9(80)+6C = 1140
720+6C = 1140 => 6C = 1140-720 = 420 => C = 420/6 = 70
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using (1), 2A+8(80)+8(70) = 1400
2A+640+560 =1400 => 2A = 1400-640-560 = 200 => A = 200/2 = 100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rates are:
A = $100
B = $80
C = $70
--------------------------------
On Thursday, number of calls: A = 4 hrs, B = 6 hrs, C = 3 hrs
Money earned = 4*100+6*80+3*70 = $1,090
For question 1, the largest value would be 1 and the smallest value would be -1. A, B, and C are either all 1 or two is negative and one is positive, either way the number is 1 and it's opposite. 1^2 is 1, 1^3 is 1, 1^4 is 1. The product is 1. -1^2 is -1, -1^3 is -1, -1^4 is -1. The product is -1. Now the difference. 1 - (-1), which is 1 + 1, the answer is [D) 2]
