15 feet is what I came up with.
Here is the correct answer.
4x + 108 = 144(equation)
-108 -108 (Subtract 108 both sides)
4x = 36 (simplify)
/4 /4 (divide by 4)
x = 9 (Answer)
Answer:
3x - (15 x 3) = 90
or
3x - 45 = 90
Explanation:
there are 3 boxes. We don't know how many are in them yet, so we write this as 3x. However, we know that we give away 15 to 3 different teachers. 15 x 3 = 45
Therefore the first part is 3x - 45
We also know that in the end we have 90 left.
So our final equation is:
3x - 45 = 90
The expression which can be used to solve this problem is 5.50h + 1.5h.
Since the given data is 44.5 hour week, all we need to do is substitute the given data to the expression. Since it takes 56 hours a week for a complete office/working hour without overtime, Joel's 44.5 hour week means he did not have overtime hours. Therefore the solution is,
5.50(44.5) = 244.75 Dollars.
