Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the proportion of time the third person spends on the project. You want ...
1/2 + 1/3 + x = 1 . . . . full-time equivalents
5/6 + x = 1 . . . . simplify
x = 1/6 . . . . . . . subtract 5/6
The third person should budget 1/6 of their time to the project.
15 x 3 = 45 - 5 = 40
The number will be 15.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
x = 3
y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
you replace y with 6x
x + 6x = 21
combine like terms
7x = 21
divide both sides by seven
x = 3
then you plyg 3 into the other equation
y = 6(3)
y= 18
