Answer:

25 and 21 hours respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours worked by each welder be x and y respectively.

They worked a total of 46 hours. This means :

x + y = 46 hours.......(I)

Now, given their hourly charges, since we have the total amount of money realized, we can make an equation out of it. This means:

34x + 39y = 1669........(ii)

We then solve both simultaneously. From I, x = 46 -y

We can substitute this into ii

34(46 -y) + 39y = 1669

1564 -34y + 39y = 1669

5y = 1669 - 1564

5y = 105

y = 105/5 = 21

x = 46 - y

x = 46 - 21 = 25 hours

The numbers of hours worked by the welders are 25 and 21 respectively

Sup yall<br><br> solve 4p-7r=pq+16 for p
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

p = (7r+16) / (4-q)

Step-by-step explanation:

4p - 7r = pq + 16

Add 7r to both sides.

4p = pq + 16 + 7r

Subtract pq from both sides.

4p - pq = 7r + 16

Factor out p from the left side.

p(4 - q) = 7r + 16

Divide both sides by (4 - q).

p = (7r + 16)/(4 - q)

The 7r and the 16 could be in either order, like 7r+16 or 16+7r. You could show that the answer is a fraction with 7r+16 on top and 4-q on the bottom. If you are writing or on the computer selecting a fraction that is stacked you don't need need the parenthesis.

If you divide 64/16, that equals 4, then you multiply 4*3 and your answer is 12. It looks something like this (for "showing your work" purposes);

64/16=4
4 x 3=12
