Answer:
30 small chairs and 24 large chairs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the numbers of small chairs and large chairs built in a day. Then the relations for using available time are ...
20x +50y = 30×60
60x +90y = 66×60
Removing common factors, these can be written in standard form as ...
2x +5y = 180
2x +3y = 132
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
2y = 48
y = 24 . . . . . divide by 2
Using the first equation to find x, we have ...
2x +5(24) = 180
2x = 60 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120
x = 30 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The company can build 30 small chairs and 24 large chairs in a day.
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
Answer:
12-2=10 b=10
Step-by-step explanation:
36 divided by 2 = 18 and 18 + 24 = 42
1/2 ( -3/2 + 6x + 1) - 3x
Simplify:
= 1/2 (-1/2 + 6x) - 3x
Apply distributive property:
= -1/4 + 3x -3 x
Simplify:
= -1/4
