Solving for x you would get X=6
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
4/10 is 2/5 or 0.4 in decimal form.
Answer:
£83.70
Step-by-step explanation:
→ First step is to find the amount of hours it takes for one builder
We know it takes 5 builders
hours so 1 builder would take 5 ×
which is
hours so it takes one builder 17.5 hours to builder a wall
→ Now we know how long one work takes we need to find out the time for 2 builders
1 builder = 17.5 hours
2 builders = 17.5 ÷ 2 = 8.75 hours
So 2 builders take 8.75 hours
→ We know that each builder is paid £9.30 for each or part hour they work so
9.30 hourly pay rate × 9 hours work of work = £83.70
Each worker will be paid £83.70
