Step-by-step explanation:
you should only make one equation:
75 + 45x = 30 + 55x
subtract the 30 frim both sides, then subtract 45x from both sides. you are left with:
45 = 10x
Divide by 10 and get:
4.5 = x
After 4.5 hours, the cost is equal for either worker.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Without LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24)
2x + 3 = 3x - 8
2x - 3x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11
with LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24) ...multiply by 6
3(4x + 6) = 2(9x - 24)
12x + 18 = 18x - 48
12x - 18x = -48 - 18
-6x = - 66
x = -66/-6
x = 11
Yes, the answers are the same :)
