Each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, they need to work for x minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and Trudy packs one box in 7 minutes.

So, the number of boxes packed by Selma in that x minutes =\frac{x}{5} and the number of boxes packed by Trudy in x minutes =\frac{x}{7}

Given that, Selma and Trudy have already packed 12 and 18 boxes.

Now if <u>each of them packed the same number of boxes</u>, then the equation will be......

12+\frac{x}{5}=18+\frac{x}{7}\\ \\ \frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{7}= 18-12\\ \\ \frac{7x-5x}{35}=6\\ \\ \frac{2x}{35}=6\\ \\ 2x= 210\\ \\ x= \frac{210}{2}=105

So, each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

It is A. We have a ratio of

900 workers : 3.2×10⁵

Dividing by 9×10² becomes

1 worker :\frac{3.2}{9} ×10³

3.2/9 is just 0.36 rounded so it is

1 worker : 0.36×10³

or A

Help me pls math genius

Answer:

x = -3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

in the given question :-

=》x - 4y = 1

=》x = 4y + 1

now replacing the value of x as ( 4y + 1 ) in equation (2)

=》3x + 2y = -11

=》3 (4y + 1) + 2y = -11

=》12y + 3 + 2y = -11

=》14y = -11 - 3

=》y = -14 ÷ 14

=》y = -1

now, putting the value of y in equation (1)

=》x - 4y = 1

=》x - ( 4 × -1 ) = 1

=》x + 4 = 1

=》x = 1 - 4

=》x = -3
