-4 (-3x-2)+4=60 can you help me plz

1 answer:

8 0

X = 4.

You have to distribute by multiplying -4 by the numbers between -3x and -2.

12x + 8 =60

Subtract the 8 from 60 to simplify the equation.

12x = 48

Divide 12 by 48 and get 4.

x=4

4 people can dig a hole in 3 hours. How long does it take 9 people.

ad-work [718]

Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's figure out how long it would take 1 person to dig the hole and then divide that number by 9 (since they are sharing the workload).

$\dfrac{1}{4}x=3\qquad \implies \qquad x = 12\quad \text{It takes 12 hours for 1 person}\\\\\\\dfrac{12\ \text{(for 1 person)}}{9\ \text{(people)}}\quad =1\dfrac{1}{3}\quad =\large\boxed{1\ hour\ 20\ minutes}$
