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>

Molly earns a rebate each month on her movie tickets and books. She earns $0.25 for each movie ticket and $2 for each book. Last
Sliva [168]

The algebraic equation is 4(0.25)+2x=17

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

1+2x=17  or  2x+1

STEP 2: Subtract both sides

2x = 16

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

Molly purchased 8 books last month
