Answer: 55x + 75 = 350; 5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know:
- A flat fee is $75
- John charges $55 an hour
- The total charge is $350
We need to write an equation to find how many hours John works.
<em>x </em>will represent hours worked.
55x + 75 = 350
We now need to solve for x.
Subtract 75 from both sides.
55x + 75 - 75 = 350 - 75
Simplify.
55x = 275
Divide 55 from both sides.
55x/55 = 275/55
Simplify.
x = 5
John worked 5 hours.
To check our work, we just plug in our x value!
55(5) + 75
275 + 75 = 350
Let's make equation for this problem. Let's say the population of LV is x, then Sacramento will be x+275 since <span>Sacramento had 275 thousand more residents than Las Vegas. Remember that their total population is 2669, so your equation will be </span>
If you solve this equation, you have x=1197, that is population of LV. So Sacramento is 1472.
7,134 + d = 10,000
Subtract 7,134 from each side:
d = 10,000 - 7,134
d = 2,866
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.4 years times 12=16.8
In one year there are 12 months so you add 1.4 times 12
