FH = 102, FG = 5x + 9. HG = 9x - 5 Given

FG + HG = FH Segment addition postulate

5x + 9 + 9x - 5 = 102 Substitution

14x + 4 = 102 Simplify (added like terms)

14x = 98 Subtraction property of equality

x = 7 Division property of equality

b) FG = 5x + 9 = 5(7) + 9 = 35 + 9 = 44

c) HG = 9x - 5 = 9(7) - 5 = 63 - 5 = 58

Answers: a = 7, b = 44, c = 58

Jane sells 8 times as many Volvos as Melissa. If the difference in their sales is 35, how many cars did Jane sell?

Usimov [2.4K]

Here we have 2 variables we need to calculate:
x - how many Volvos Jane sold
y - how many Volvos Melissa sold

We write system of equations:
x = 8*y
x - y = 35
------------
8y - y = 35
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 8*5 = 40

Jane sold 40 cars.

WHUR Radio uses 1/5 of its of its 10 hours of daytime broadcast for commercial and 1/2 for music. How much is left for news?

Nataly [62]

Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that WHUR Radio uses 1/5 of its of its 10 hours of daytime broadcast for commercial and 1/2 for music.

Hours used for commercial:

= 1/5 × 10

= 2 hours

Hours used for music:

= 1/2 × 10

= 5 hours

Hours left for news will be:

= 10 hours - 2 hours - 5 hours

= 3 hours
