You can write this ratio in two other ways:
7 to 13
7 : 13
In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:
y - 4x = 9
-x + 4 = y
Add x to both sides of the second equation:
y + x = 4
y - 4x = 9
This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:
5x = -5
x = -1
Use x to solve for y:
y + (-1) = 4
y = 5
So, x = -1 and y = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
Math simplification
|3+10|=|3|+|10|
|13|=|13|
13=13
4 hours for 18
7 hours for 25.50
Difference in hours: 7-4 = 3
Difference in cost: 25.50 - 18 = 7.50
7.50 / 3 = 2.50
A. They charge 2.50 per hour.
B. 2.50 x 4 = 10
18 - 10 = 8
The flat fee is 8 dollars
C. 8 + (2 x 2.50) = 13 dollars
