Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
First, you know that B is the mid point, meaning AB is equal to BC. Therefore, you can set up the equation: x+5=2x-11. Then, you solve for x. Once you are done solving, you should get 16. Hope this helps!
