Let the price of the 3rd card be c. Now we can write the equation:
c + (c + 20) + (c + c + 20) = 160 .........(1)
Simplifying the left hand side of equation (1), we get:
4c + 40 = 160 .........(2)
Subtracting 40 from both sides of equation (2) gives:
4c = 120
from which c = $30.
Therefore the price of the second card = 30 + 20 = $50
and the price of the first card = 30 + 50 = $80.

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work​ together, it takes them 2 hours. How
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood  = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight  = (\frac{1}{K})

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood  = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe  = (\frac{1}{K-3})

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them  = (\frac{1}{2})

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight  + Joe)  =(\frac{1}{2} )

\implies (\frac{1}{K}) +  (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

(\frac{1}{K}) +  (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies  \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)}  = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K  + 6=  0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K  + 6=  0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)=  0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3)  = 1- 3  = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K  = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.
