Translating this word problem into an algebraic equation, we get:
3x - 2/5 = 8/5.
Let's combine the constants: adding 2/5 to both sides of this equation yields
3x = 10/5, or 3x = 2.
Solving for x: x = 2/3
Answer:
x = (22/17), y= (79/17)
Step-by-step explanation:
Just substitute x = 2y - 8 into y = 9x - 7 and solve.
Answer:

Answer:
<em>In the next year, Anthony worked 2,084 hours</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Anthony worked 1,697 hours in 2010.
We also know Anthony worked 22.8% more hours than in 2010.
The problem requires to calculate how much did Anthony work in the next year.
It can be calculated as follows:
Take 22.8% of 1,697:

Now calculate by adding it to the original number of hours:
1,697 + 387 = 2,084 hours
In the next year, Anthony worked 2,084 hours
