I'm assuming you want to solve for z :)
By simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
Exact form:
z= -5/3 , - 11/3
Mixed number form:
z= −1 2/3 , −3 2/3
n - 4 = 16 Given
+ 4 + 4 Cancel out 4 to isolate n variable
n = 20
Prove.
20 - 4 = 16
16 = 16
True.
Answer:
Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Steve determines that it would take them 9 days to paint the house together (if they were both healthy) and that it would take Janet (when healthy) 16 days to paint the house alone.
We conclude that in 1 day Janet painted 1/16 of the house. In nine days, Janet painted 9/16 of house.
So, 7/16 of house paint Steve in nine days.
We have the following proportion:

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.
Answer:
30:80
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 300 divided by ten is 30 so 800 divided by ten is 80 :)
Answer: the group rented 11 Person tubes and 4 cooler tubes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two types of tubes, Person tube and cooler tube.
Let P represent number of Person tubes that the group rented.
Let C represent number of Cooler tubes that the group rented.
The group spends $270 to rent a total of 15 tubes and Person tube $20 Cooler tube $12.50. Two linear equations can be derived from the above information
P + C = 15 - - - - - - - 1
20P + 12.5C = 270 - - - -- - - 2
Substituting P = 15 - C into equation 2,
It becomes
20(15-C) + 12.5C = 270
300 - 20C + 12.5C = 270
- 20C + 12.5C = 270 -300
7.5C = - 30
C = 30/7.5 = 4
P = 15 - C
P = 15 - 4 = 11
