X= number of hours would it take Jason to wash the van by himself.
2x=number of hours would it take Wendy to wash the van by herserlf.
<span>we calcaulate the fraction of work by Jason during one hour </span>
x hours-----------------------------1 work
1 hour---------------------- fraction of work during one hour.
fraction of work during one hour=(1 hour * 1work) / x hours=1/x
we calculate the fraction of work by Wendy during one hour.
2x hours-----------------------------1 work
1 hour---------------------- fraction of work during one hour.
fraction of work during one hour=(1 hour * 1work) / 2x hours=1/2x
We can suggest this equation:
2 hours(fraction of work by Jason during one hour + fraction of work by Wendy during one hour)=1 work
2(1/x + 1/2x)=1
least common multiple=2x
2(2+1)=2x
2(3)=2x
6=2x
x=6/2
x=3
answer: 3 hours would ti take Jason to wash the van by himself.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps
Add both the equations together to eliminate x
x+5y=8
-x+2y=-1
7y=7
y=1
Now fill in y into the original equation
x+5(1)=8
x+5=8
x=3
Now you can check by filling x and y into the second equation.
-(3)+2(1)=-1
-3+2=-1
-1=-1
So your answer will be (3, 1)
Brainliest my answer if it helps you out?
There was $800 deposited at 9% interest and $400 deposited at 4% interest.
The formula for simple interest is I = prt. Using our information we have:
88 = x(0.09)(1) + (1200-x)(0.04)(1)
88 = 0.09x + 48 - 0.04x
88 = 0.05x + 48
Subtract 48 from both sides:
88 - 48 = 0.05x + 48 - 48
40 = 0.05x
Divide both sides by 0.05:
40/0.05 = 0.05x/0.05
x = 800
1200 - x = 400
Are you looking to simplify it? If so I think the answer would be 1/2.
