Answer:
x = (66.50 - 4y) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount had = $70
Change collected = $3.50
Total amount spent = $(70 - 3.50) = $66.50
Total amount used for purchasing prawn and fish:
Kg of fish = 4
Kg of prawn = 3
1 kg prawn will cost, x
If 1 kg of fish = y
(Total amount spent - cost of 4 kg fish) / Number of kg of prawn
($66.50 - 4y) / 3
x = (66.50 - 4y) / 3
"Jake can mulch a garden in 30 minutes." So, for 1 min Jake can mulch 1/30 part of a garden.
Ross can mulch the park for x minutes. So, for 1 min Jake can mulch 1/x part of a garden.
If they work together, for 1 min they will mulch (1/30 + 1/x) part of the garden.
At the same time, we know, that of they work together they can mulch the garden in 16 min, so for 1 min they will mulch 1/16 part of the garden.
Now, we can write an equation

x≈34.3 (min)
Y=x^2-6x+9=(x-3)^2. Setting this to 0, (x-3)^2=0. x=3 is the only root.
