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>

How to do Simplification of algebraic fractions
Marysya12 [62]
If we want to simplify Algebraic Fractions:
We have to take a look at the numerator and the denominator
Why? Because to simplify we need to have a common multiple.
When we find the common multiple, we now know by which factor we have to break down the fraction in the numerator and the denominator
I have some examples attached below for help.

Your free ride to work ends in 14 days. So, maybe you need a car? How much can you afford to spend? Below is what's available at
garri49 [273]

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached a screenshot of the price list of some cars from motor 1 .com since you did not provide any in the question, and let us assume it is the same as what is available at a dealership near you.

From the list, since you don't have enough money in your account to buy a car, I will say you should get a 2017 Nissan Versa for $11,990

and 25% of  $11,990 is

(25/100)* 11,990

0.25* 11,990

$2997.5

So you can make a down payment of $2997.5

and pay the remainder of $8992.5 later

Right triangle LMN has vertices L(7, –3), M(7, –8), and
prohojiy [21]
We are given the vertices of the triangle with their respective coordinates. For the vertex L, the translated coordinates is also given. So, from the original coordinates of L and the new coordinates, we can get the rule used during translation:(7, -3) -> (7 + a, -3 + b) = (-1, 8)7 + a = -1a = -8
-3 + b = 8b = 11
Therefore, the answer is:(x, y) → (x – 8, y + 11)
