Answer:

Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x is the  amount Harry earns 

y is the amount Hamish earns 

x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1

x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2

equals 1 and 2

(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7

(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7

(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5

28x-28 = 25x+50

28x-25x = 50+28

3x = 78

x = 26

substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5

y = (x-1)*4/5

y =  (26-1)*4/5

y = 20

the answer is

<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns  $20 an hour</h3>

Answer:

Option C (72)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached we can see a rectangle ABCD with length 12 cm and width 9 cm.

A  triangle PEF with height BE and base EF.

Since side AE = 3 cm, so side EB = EC = 9 - 3 = 6cm

and EF = AD = 12 cm

Now we will find the area of of the parts of the card that are not shaded.

Area of parts that are not shaded = Area of rectangle - area of shaded triangle

= (12×9) -

= 108 -

Option c) 72 cm² is the area of non shaded part.

Hope this helps!! -Mina
