Answer:
Policeman A = 56 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Policemen A + B = 70
If Policeman B hands out x no of tickets...
Then Policeman A hands out 4x no of tickets
meaning...
x + 4x = 70
5x = 70
x = 70/5
x = 14
Therefore Policeman A hands out..
4x = 4 × 14 = 56 tickets
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)
Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x = -54
x = 6
plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
y = 10

Rachel earned $34 in 4 hours at her job today. She wants to know how much she could earn tomorrow if she works 10 hours at the same hourly rate. Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equal number of hours be represented by variable H;
The two equations will be as follows;
Jack; 40 +30H
Mark; 50 +25H
Next, equate them;
40 + 30H = 50 + 25H
30H - 25H = 50 - 40
5H = 10
H =10/5
H = 2hrs
Therefore, they charge the same amount at 2 hrs.
B.) The amount charged;
Replace the variable H in any of the two equations above with 2 to solve for the amount.
Equation 40+30H = 40 + (30*2)
=40 + 60
= $100
