Hello!
To solve this problem, we will use a system of equations. We will have one number be x and the other y. We will use substitutions to solve for each variable.
x+y=9
x=2y-9
To solve for the two numbers, we need to solve the top equation. The second equation shows that x=2y-9. In the first equation, we can replace 2y-9 for x and solve.
2y-9+y=9
3y-9=9
3y=18
y=6
We now know the value of y. Now we need to find x. We can plug in 6 for y in the second equation to find x.
x=2·6-9
x=12-9
x=3
Just to check, we will plug these two numbers into the first equation.
3+6=9
9=9
Our two numbers are three and six.
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
9$ x 71 hours (rewritten) 9x 71 = 639
plus the commission
10% x 1,901$ (rewritten) .1 x 1,901 = 190.1
639 + 190.1 = 829.1
(x -1)(x +4) = 0
x² +3x -4 = 0 . . . . . . probably the form you're looking for
Answer:
1 hr, 48 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
you can create a proportion:
doughnuts/hours = doughnut/hours (h)
1500/9 = 300/h
cross-multiply to get:
1500h = 2700
h = 27/15
h = 1 12/15, which is 1 hr, 48 minutes because 12/15 = 48/60
