Answer:

100 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Law firm A = 350x + 22,000,

Law firm B = 410x+16,000

Where,

x = number of hours of legal assistance

What number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation 350x+22,000 = 410x+16,000 true?

Equate the legal fees of the two law firms

350x + 22,000 = 410x + 16,000

Collect like terms

350x - 410x = 16,000 - 22,000

-60x = -6,000

Divide both sides by -60

x = -6,000 / -60

= 100

x = 100 hours

The number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation true is 100 hours

You take the amount paid and divide it by the amount of cheese. So 10.50 divided by 2.5 equals 4.2 and 12.60 divided by 3 equals 4.2 meaning that one pound of cheese costs $4.20

Answer:

James bought 11 good tickets and 5 bad tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of each good ticket = $8

Cost of each bad ticket = $5

Total amount spent = $113

Total tickets bought = 16

Let,

x be the number of good tickets bought

y be the number of bad tickets bought

x+y=16 Eqn 1

8x+5y=113 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

5(x+y=16)

5x+5y=80 Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(8x+5y)-(5x+5y)=113-80

8x+5y-5x-5y=33

3x=33

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{33}{3}\\x=11$

Putting x=11 in Eqn 1

11+y=16

y=16-11

y=5

Hence,

James bought 11 good tickets and 5 bad tickets.
