Answer:

Judy = $5/hr

Ben = $4/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Judy's hours at work - x

Ben's hours at work - y

8x + 10y = 80

9x + 5y = 65

Given these two equations above, we get:

10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.

Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:

9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65

9x + 40 - 4x = 65

5x = 25

x = 5

Come back to the first equation, substitute x:

8*5 + 10y = 80

10y = 80 - 40

y = 4

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram with diagonals that intersect at point E. If AD=4w-5 DE=4 BE=x/2 BC=7w-17 solve for w.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

B. w = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, in a parallelogram length of opposite sides are equal.

so, AD = BC

⇒ 4w - 5 = 7w - 17

⇒ 12 = 3w

⇒ w = 4
