Don’t you have to flip the sign when you divide by a negative? So I think she’s wrong bc the answer should be d is less than or equal to 7.5
Below is the solution:
There are two equations to be solved here. The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8
Hi,
The answer you are looking for is 2. (-4,2)
Have a great day & remember to mark brainliest if I helped :)
9. $112.50 / 9 lawns = $12.50 per lawn
10. $122.50 / 7 lawns = $17.50 per lawn
11. $112.50 / 7.5 hours = $15.00 per hour
$122.50 / 5 hours = $24.50 per hour
Alastair earns more per hour
12. Taryn: 49 more hours ($735 / $15.00)
Alastaie: 30 more hours ($735 / $24.50)
You found how much money they charge per hour in 11 so use that to find how many hours it takes to earn $735.
