Answer:r=7/7744
move all terms to the left:
(7/22)(44)-(2r)=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-2r+(+7/22)44=0
multiply parentheses
-2r+7/22*44=0
multiply all the terms by the denominator
-2r*22*44+7=0
multiply elements
-1936r*4+7=0
multiply elements
-7744r+7=0
move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right
-7744r=-7
r=-7/-7744
5280 rounds up to 6000 because the number 8 is after 5, so your round up which makes 5280, 6000.
<span>In order to determine the value of the numbers, we can set up algebraic equations to solve. For this case, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknown numbers. We do as follows:
let x = first number and y = second number
From the problem statement, we set up equations.
Equation 1 - the numbers have a difference of 0.7
x - y = 0.7
Equation 2 - the numbers have a sum of 1
x + y = 1
Solving for x and y via substitution method,
x - y = 0.7
(1-y) - y = 0.7
1 - 2y = 0.7
-2y = 0.7 - 1 = -0.3
y = 0.15 or 3/20
x - 0.15 = 0.7
x = 0.85 or 17/20
Thus, the two numbers are 0.15 and 0.85.</span>
First you would have to multiply 12 times 5 (60) then multiply 7 times 18 (126) you subtract both [ 126 - 60] = (66) that would be your final answer. They both need to have worked 66 minutes to have the same number of boxes.
