Step-by-step explanation + Answer:
x = 1st job
y = 2nd job
x + y = 22......x = 22 - y
7x + 8.25y = 171.50
7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50
154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50
-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154
1.25y = 17.50
y = 17.50 / 1.25
y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job
x + y = 22
x + 14 = 22
x = 22 - 14
x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job
Answer:
13 x^2 -6x -9
Step-by-step explanation:
8x^2-4x-3+5x^2-2x-6
Combine like terms
8x^2+5x^2 -4x-2x -6-3
13 x^2 -6x -9
The value would be 0.95454545454 (well if you put it in a calculator then this would be your answer)
answer: infinitely many :)
