The number of hours Jeremiah ironed = 10 hours

The number of hours Tristan ironed = 7 hours

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Jeremiah can iron = 35 shirts per hour
  • Tristan can iron = 20 shirts per hour
  • Total work done by both = 490 shirts

Let 'x' be the number of hours Jeremiah ironed.

Let 'y' be the number of hours Tristan ironed.

x+y = 17   ------(1)

35x + 20y = 490  -------(2)

Multiply (1) by 20 and subtract (2) from (1),

 20x + 20y = 340

-(<u>35x + 20y = 490</u>)

 <u>-15x         = -150 </u>

x = 150/15

x = 10

Substitute x=10 in (1)

10+y = 17

y = 7

Factor -1/2 out of -1/2 X +6=?
solong [7]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

Since -1/2 is the greatest common factor of the two terms,

(-1/2)x + 6 = (-1/2) (x - 3)

The factored form therefore is (-1/2) (x - 3). I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
