Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
The answer is
B. -2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation :
Given the expression
x²- 5x + 6 = 0
Firstly we need to find two numbers that when multiplied will give us the constant term 6, and when added will give us the 2nd term 5
These numbers are 3 and 2
Substituting 2x +3x for 5x
x²- (2x+3x)+ 6 = 0
x²-2x-3x+6=0
(x²-2x)-(3x+6)=0
Factoring we have
x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0
x-3=0, x-2=0
x=3, x= 2
The answer is false, it is only true for postulates, not conjectures.
