4c + 5h = 650 and
5c + 6h = 800 where c are chefs, h are helpers
Start by finding an expression for c
4c + 5h = 650
4c = 650 -5h
c = (650- 5h)/4
Then substitute that into the second equation and solve for a number value for h
5 (650-5h)/4 + 6h = 800
(3250-25h)/4 + 6h = 800
Multiply both sides by 4
3250-25h + 24h = 3200
-h = -50
h = 50
Take that 50 and substitute it into the expression we have for c to get a number value for c
C= 650-5(50)/4
C = 650-250/4
C = 400/4
C= 100
Check your first equations, substituting $50 for the helpers and $100 for the chefs.
4 (100) + 5(50) =
400 + 250 = 650
5(100) + 6(50) =
500 + 300 = 800
Basically you want to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5 in the answer choices.
12/20 equals 3/5 because 3/5 x 4/4 (or 1) = 12/20
answer: 4
Answer:
A.-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Y-8=-1/2x + (-2)
+8 +8
y=-1/2x +6
I just used a 2 step equation for it. I first used Distributive Property. Then Subtracted 8 from each side
Answer:
MC = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ ABH and Δ MCH are similar and the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
6MC = 270 ( divide both sides by 6 )
MC = 45
