Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Samantha = 15 + 2x
- Matt = 3 + 4x
- Samantha = Matt
- [x = Number of hours]
<u>Solution:</u>
- 15 + 2x = 3 + 4x
- => 15 - 3 = -2x + 4x
- => 12 = 2x
- => x = 6
Hence, after 6 hours of work, Samantha and Matt will have the same amount.
250 * 0.20 = $50 sale
250 - 50 = $200
You will pay $200 after sale
Let x be the 1st number
x + 9 be the second number
Equation:
x + x+9 = 171
Solution:
2x + 9 = 171
2x = 171 - 9
2x = 162
x = 81
x + 9 = 90
81 + 90 = 171
Completely different...
.15*.15*.15*500
500(.15^3)=1.6875
500(.45)=225
24 makes the equation true
