Answer:
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this equation, you first have to divide:
14 * y = 126
/14 /14
y = 9
and there is the answer. If you need to prove that y = 9, just input it into the equation.
14 * 9 = 126
126 = 126

You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:
1.25 × 10^-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal until it's at 1.25. You had to go right 4 times so it's negative. If it were 12500 then you'd do it until it was 1.2500 which would be going left so it'd be a positive 4
