Assuming it is a Obtuse Scalene Triangle
Side a = 6
Side b = 15
Side c = 13.0767 = 3√19
Step-by-step explanation + Answer:
x = 1st job
y = 2nd job
x + y = 22......x = 22 - y
7x + 8.25y = 171.50
7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50
154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50
-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154
1.25y = 17.50
y = 17.50 / 1.25
y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job
x + y = 22
x + 14 = 22
x = 22 - 14
x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job
Answer: Choice B
Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number is more than negative four and five tenths.
======================================================
Explanation:
2.4 = 2 + 0.4
2.4 = 2 and 4/10
2.4 = 2 and 4 tenths
2.4 = two and four tenths
-------------------
Through similar reasoning,
6.2 = six and two tenths
And also,
-4.5 = negative four and five tenths
---------------------
Notice how 6.2 - x translates into "difference of six and two tenths and a number"
We then multiply that by 2.4, aka two and four tenths.
So that's how we get the phrasing "Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number"
All of this is greater than -4.5 aka negative four and five tenths.
This points us to Choice B as the final answer.
Y is equal to 23 and x is equal to 28. This is because you can move 3y over to the corner to its left that matches the position 3y is in. From there you set 3y + 5y -4 = 180 because the add up to a straight line. Then you get 23 for y and you can use that to make 3y=69. Use the 69 to set it equal to 2x +13 and solve to get x=28.
