Answer:
The answer is C. 4.5. Hope that helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
X - 2y = -24
x - y = 4
Isolate x in the first equation by adding 2y to both sides.
x = -24 + 2y
Now plug in this value of x into the second equation.
(-24 + 2y) - y = 4
Solve. Combine all like terms, 2y - y.
-24 + y = 4
Add 24 to both sides to isolate y.
y = 28
Now plug y back into the first equation to find x.
x - 2(28) = -24
x - 56 = -24
Add 56 to both sides to isolate x.
x = 32
The solution is (32, 28).
Answer:
They started at 4:45 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
Time spend at the mall:
15 minutes in the shoe store
1 hour shopping for a dress
30 minutes eating
Total 1 hour 45 minutes
x + 1 hour 45 minutes = 6:30
Subtract 1 hours
5 : 30 pm
Subtract 45 minutes
4 :45 pm
They started at 4:45 pm
t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.
So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars
This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644
736-92= 644
So our expression seems to be working.
