Answer:
£110
Step-by-step explanation:
We know how much time it takes for a boiler and a radiator, and we need to know how much it will cost for 1 boiler and 4 radiators. We have an initial cost of £30, and since hes doing a boiler - which we know takes an hour - we can already add £20 for a start of £50.
Now, there are 4 radiators, that take 45 minutes each. We need to use this equation:
We divide by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour, and he charges by hour. So:
Now, to find out how much to charge, we need to figure out how much to add to the £50. Since it's £20 an hour, and it takes 3 hours to do the 4 radiators, we need to multiply:
Now we add our totals for a grand total of...

Answer:
(a) -(x+7)/y
(b) (x+7)/-y
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways you can show expressions are equivalent. Perhaps the easiest and best is to put them in the same form. For an expression such as this, I prefer the form of answer (a), where the minus sign is factored out and the numerator and denominator have positive coefficients.
The given expression with -1 factored out is ...
Likewise, the expression of (b) with the minus sign factored out is ...
On the other hand, simplifying expression (c) gives something different.

Another way you can write the expression is term-by-term with the terms in alpha-numeric sequence (so they're more easily compared).
Given: (-x-7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)
(a) -(x+7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)
(b) (x+7)/(-y) = (-x/y) +(-7/y)
(c) (-x-7)/(-y) = (x/y) +(7/y) . . . . not the same.
__
Of course, you need to know the use of the distributive property and the rules of signs.
a(b+c) = ab +ac
-a/b = a/(-b) = -(a/b)
-a/(-b) = a/b
__
<u>Summary</u>: The given expression matches (a) and (b).

<em>Additional comments</em>
Sometimes, when I'm really stuck trying to see if two expressions are equal, I subtract one from the other. If the difference is zero, then I know they are the same. Looking at (b), we could compute ...
Yet another way to check is to substitute numbers for the variables. It is a good idea to use (at least) one more set of numbers than there are variables, just to make sure you didn't accidentally find a solution where the expressions happen to be equal. We can use (x, y) = (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 5) for example.
The given expression evaluates to (-1-7)/2 = -4, (-2-7)/3 = -3, and (-3-7)/5 = -2.
(a) evaluates to -(1+7)/2 = -4, -(2+7)/3 = -3, -(3+7)/5 = -2, same as given
(b) evaluates to (1+7)/-2 = -4, (2+7)/-3 = -3, (3+7)/-5 = -2, same as given
(c) evaluates to (-1-7)/-2 = 4, different from given
