Answer:
x=15 and y=18
Step-by-step explanation:
1: 2/3x- 4=6 2/3x=10 x=15
1: x=15
2: 2/3y=12
y=18
Answer:
- 39/8y
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to find a common denominator:
There is already a y in both denominators, so you don't have to worry about that. Since only one denominator has an 8, the other needs to have an 8, so you need to multiply the first fraction by 8 → - 4/y * 8 = - 32/8y
From here you can subtract the numerators:
- 32/8y +(- 7/8y) = - 39/8y
Because you are adding a negative to a negative, it makes the number mroe negative

Answer:
Answer options
A. Two cities that are 7.5 cm apart on the map are actually 50 km apart.
D. Two cities that are actually 66 km apart are 9.9 cm apart on the map.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Indicate the scale as shown;
3 cm : 20 km, meaning 3 cm on the map represents 20 km on the ground
A). what does 7.5 cm represent on the ground
Distance on ground=(7.5×20)/3=50 km
B). what does 4 cm represent on the ground
Distance on ground=(4×20)/3=26.67 km
C). what does 45 km on ground represent on the map
Distance on map=(45×3)/20=6.75 cm
D). what does 66 km on ground represent on the map
Distance on the map=(66×3)/20=9.9 cm
First you find how many prizes were dolls. Then you subtract that number from 64.
Answer:
The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85
The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70
Step-by-step explanation:
Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they charged a total of $1900. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $155 per hour?
Solution
Let
x= hourly rate of the first mechanic
y= hourly rate of the second mechanic
Derive two equations to solve for the two unknowns
10x + 15y = 1900 (1)
x + y = 155 (2)
From (2)
x + y = 155
x=155-y
Substitute x=155-y into (1)
10x + 15y = 1900
10(155-y) + 15y =1900
1550 -10y + 15y =1900
5y =1900-1550
5y=350
Divide both sides by 5
y= 70
Substitute y=70 into (2)
x + y = 155
x + (70) =155
x=155 - 70
= 85
x= 85
The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85
The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70
