Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
you get 2 hours before hourly rate kicks in
Look at C for 2 hours add'l past the initial 2 hours you are charged 14.50
so 2 x + 3.50 = 14.50
will show x = 5.50 / hr
<span>5.505 thats the answer it says equals</span>
Ok so first we find the equation that equals one variable.
2y = -x + 9
3x - 6y = -15
We solve for y.
2y = -x + 9
y = -x/2 + 9/2
Then we plug in this y value into the other equation to keep only one variable so we can solve for it.
3x - 6y = -15
3(-x + 9/2) - 6y = -15
-3x + 27/2 - 6y = -15
-9y + 27/2 = -15
-9y = 3/2
-y = 3/18
y = -3/18
Then we plug in this numerical y-value into the first equation which we found out by solving an equation for y.
y = -x/2 + 9/2
-3/18 = -x/2 + 9/2
-84/18 = -x/2
-x = 9 1/3
x = -28/3
Your answer would be (-28/3, -3/18)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
there you go
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!
The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.
So:
1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12
2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12
Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).
When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).
So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours
Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)
Hope this helped!
