Write a system of equations:
x + y = 125
20x + 15y = 2100
Solving:
x = 125 - y
20(125 - y) + 15y = 2100
2500 - 20y + 15y = 2100
2500 - 5y = 2100
-5y = 2100 - 2500
-5y = -400
y=80
x + 80 = 125
x = 125 - 80
x = 45
The first charges 45$ per hour and the second charges 80$ per hour
Answer:
x = 17, y = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate for x in "x - y = -3, -8":
x - y+y = -3, -8+y
x = -11 + y
2. Substitute "x = -11 + y" in for x in the second expression:
-11 + y + y = 45
3. Simplify:
-11 + 2y = 45
4. Isolate y:
-11+11 +2y = 45+11
2y = 56
y = 28
5. Substitute the new y-value into the first equation:
x = -11 + 28
x = 17

Answer:
It will take Jade (2x + 5) minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find the expression that represents the time Jade will take
∵ Binh takes x minutes to ride to his friend’s house
∴ The time Binh takes = x minutes
∵ 5 more means + 5
∵ Twice means × 2
∵ Jade takes 5 minutes more than twice as long as Binh to ride to their
friend’s house
→ Multiply the time Binh takes by 2 and add the product by 5
∵ Binh takes x minutes
∴ The time Jade takes = 2 × x + 5
∴ The time Jade takes = 2x + 5 minutes
∴ It will take Jade (2x + 5) minutes
