X= 14
2(X+4) = 2x+8
3x-6 = 2x+8
-6=2x-3x+8
-14 = -1x
X=14
To make both sides of the equations equal and balanced.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equal number of hours be represented by variable H;
The two equations will be as follows;
Jack; 40 +30H
Mark; 50 +25H
Next, equate them;
40 + 30H = 50 + 25H
30H - 25H = 50 - 40
5H = 10
H =10/5
H = 2hrs
Therefore, they charge the same amount at 2 hrs.
B.) The amount charged;
Replace the variable H in any of the two equations above with 2 to solve for the amount.
Equation 40+30H = 40 + (30*2)
=40 + 60
= $100
