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
Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
GCF = 2xy
Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)
2xy(8x^3y/2xy + -8x^2y/2xy + -30xy/2xy)
Simplify each term in parenthesis
2xy(4x^2 - 4x - 15)
Split the second term in 4x^2 - 4x - 15 into two terms
2xy(4x^2 + 6x - 10x - 15)
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;
2xy(2x(2x + 3) -5(2x + 3))
Factor out the common term 2x + 3
<u>= 2xy(2x + 3)(2x - 5)</u>
This is all about proportions. You can make this into fractions:
3/5 = 12/x
A good way to handle this, is to make one of those numbers the same. If you do (3/5) * 4, you would get 12/20 (because 4 * 3 = 12 and 4 * 5 = 20)
So then you have this:
12/20 = 12/x
It's basically a fill in the blank from there. x= 20

I don’t know the answer but Don’t try to open that link. I’ve seen a lot of people using it. Stay safe:)
