Step-by-step explanation:
$20/hr carpenter pay
$25/hr blacksmith pay
Let c = hours working carpentry
Let b = hours working as blacksmith
c + b = 30 {equation 1}
20c + 25b = 690 {equation 2}
In equation 1 solve for one variable in terms of the other.
c = 30-b
Substitute that into equation 2:
20(30-b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
5b = 90
b = 90/5
b = 18 hours working as a blacksmith
c = 30-b = 30-18 = 12 hours as a carpenter
Answer:
235 bracelets
Step-by-step explanation:
Mai must spend $250 on wire and $5.30 per bracelet beads. Mai creates the expression.
We are given the equation:
5.3n+ 250 to represent the cost of making n bracelets.
The maximum number of bracelets Mai can make with a budget of $1500 Is calculated as:
$1500 = 5.3n+ 250
Collect like terms
1500 - 250 = 5.3n
1250 = 5.3n
n = 1250/5.3
n = 235.8490566 bracelets.
Bracelets are created as whole numbers and they can't be in decimal form.
Therefore, the maximum number of bracelets Mai can make with a budget of $1500 is 235 bracelets.
Answer: 20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 15x = 300
Isolate the variable.
Divide both sides by 15: ¹⁵ˣ⁄₁₅ = ³⁰⁰⁄₁₅
x = 20

3x - 6 = 2x + 6
3x = 2x + 6 + 6
3x = 2x + 12
3x - 2x = 12
x = 12
