Answer:

11 hours she worked at the grocery store

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming,

the number of hours worked at tutoring = x

the number of hours worked at grocery store = y

which means,

the amount she made at tutoring = x* $15

the amount she made at grocery store = y*$9

we have 2 equations

<em>total number of hours</em>

1) x+y= 15  

<em>total amount she earned</em>

2) x* $15+ y* $9= $159

From equation 1

x+y= 15  

x=15-y

<em>we replace this x value in equation 2</em>

x* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15-y)* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15*15)- 15y+9y=159

225-6y=159

225-159=6y

66=6y

66/6=y

<u>11=y</u>  <em>the number of hours she worked at grocery store. </em>

<em>we place y=11 in our derived x equation</em>

x=15-y

x=15-11

<u><em>x=4 </em></u><em>the number of hours she worked at tutoring. </em>

Nina [5.8K]
----------------------------------
Define their percentage:
----------------------------------
Adam = 100%
Tapiwa = 100 + 5 = 105%

----------------------------------
Find their total percentage:
----------------------------------
100 + 105 = 205

----------------------------------
Find 1%
----------------------------------
205% = 697 liters
1% = 3.4 liters

----------------------------------
Find 100% (Adam):
----------------------------------
100% = 3.4 x 100
100% = 340 liters

----------------------------------
Find 105% (Tapiwa):
----------------------------------
105% = 3.4 x 105 
105% = 357 liters

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tapiwa =  357 liters and Adam = 340 liters.

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to delete the root by ^2. First you need to leave it alone

\sqrt{x+7}-x=5\\\sqrt{x+7}=5-x\\(\sqrt{x+7} )^{2}=(5-x)^{2}    \\x+7=25+10x+x^2\\x-10x=25+x^2-7\\-9x=18+x^2\\-x^2-9x-18=0\\-1(x^2+9x+18)=0\\x^2+9x+18=\frac{0}{-1}\\x^2+9x+18=0\\(x+6)(x+3)=0\\x+6=0 ===> x=-6\\x+3=0 ===> x=-3\\Checking\\\sqrt{-6+7}-(-6)=5===>\sqrt{1}+6=7\neq5  \\\\\sqrt{-3+7}-(-3)=5===>\sqrt{4}+3=5=5\\\\So \\x=-3
