It's saying one company had a profit of ~ $8M and another had a profit of ~ $8.5M+. Which company had the greater profit?
The answer is the one with the bigger number; Coyle Company
7x+y-9=0
move constant to the left by adding its opposite to both sides. the sum of the two =0
Take 60 minutes and times that by 60 to find your seconds. (s)
Next, take 240 times 3 to find your feet. (f)
Then, take your feet divided by seconds. (T)
f/s =T
X= a number
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
Multiply everything by 3 to eliminate the fraction
(3/1)((2x+4)/3) + (3)(x+2)= (3)(20)
2x+4+3x+6= 60
5x+10=60
Subtract 10 from both sides
5x=50
divide both sides by 5
x=10
Check:
Substitute answer in original equation
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
(2(10)+4)/3+(10+2)= 20
(20+4)/3+12= 20
24/3+12= 20
8+12= 20
20=20
Hope this helps! :)
