Answer:

x = 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

6(3x - 4) = -8

Distribute the 6

18x -24 = -8

Add 24 to each side

18x -24+24 = -8+24

18x = 16

Divide each side by 18

18x/18 =16/18

Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 2

x = 8/9

Lillian and Jacob work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Lillian can iron 25 shirts per hour, and Jacob can iron 20 shirts per h
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Lillian worked 7h and Jacob worked 6h

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of hours Lillian worked are x (h)

the number of  hours Jacob worked are y (h)

                 (0 < x,y < 13)

=> Lilian ironed: 25x (shirts)

    Jacob ỉroned: 20y (shirts)

because Lillian and Jacob worked a combined 13 hours and ironed 295 shirts, we have:

\left \{ {{x+y=13} \atop {25x+20y=295}} \right. => \left \{ {{x=7} \atop {y=6}} \right.

so Lillian worked 7h and Jacob worked 6h

The answer is 110 because if you multiply 8•16=128 and 18 cars are used, you subtract 128-18 which is 110.

What is the mean of the data set?
andre [41]
You find the mean by adding each value then dividing the sum by the number of values there were so in this case you'd say 301 + 222 + 287 + 310 + 346 which is 1466 then divide by 5 because there are 5 values and your answer is 293.2!

I hope this helps
