Work only with the second equation at the beginning. Solve for x for it.
7x - 2x = 3 Combine the left hand side.
5x = 3 Divide by 5
5x/5 = 3/5 Do the division
x = 3/5 = 0.6
==============
Now work with the top equation.
3(0.6) + 5y = 13 Multiply on the left.
1.8 + 5y = 13 Subtract 1.8 from both sides.
1.8 - 1.8 + 5y = 13 - 1.8 Do the subtraction
5y = 11.2 Divide by 5
5y/5 = 11.2/5
y = 2.24 Answer
Answer:
the closest estimate would be 300 boxes
the actual answer is closer to 322 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
7715/24=321.458
hope this helps have a great day :)
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u> then the answer would be 17.24 hours.
