Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours
Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3
Together they complete the job in 9 hours
Hence, let's represent the job as 1
9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1
Multiply through by (x)(x-3)
9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1
9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)
-27 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x +27 = 0
Try A
I think this is right
Hope this helps you :)
X = 6y - 3
x + y = 53
6y - 3 + y = 53
7y - 3 = 53
7y = 53 + 3
7y = 56
y = 56/7
y = 8
x = 6y - 3
x = 6(8) - 3
x = 48 - 3
x = 45
ur numbers are : 8 and 45
Answer:
The movie costs $3.50 and the video games cost $5.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 1 movie
b = 1 video game
2a + 5b = $32
8a + 3b = $43
2a x -4 = -8a
5b x -4 = -20b
32 x -4 = -128
8a + 3b = $43
- 8a + 20b = $128
--------------------------------
-17b = -85
17b = 85
/17 /17
b = 5
2a + 5(5) = 32
2a + 25 = 32
- 25 = -25
----------------------
2a = 7
/2 = /2
a = 3.5
a = $3.50
b = $5
