Answer:12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b
a-3b=5 ........equation (1)
There product is :
ab=68 ..........equation (2)
From equation (1)
a-3b=5
Make a the subject of the formula
a=5+3b. ........equation (3)
Substitute equation (3) into equation (2)
(5+3b)b=68
3(b^2)+3b-68=0
The product is -204b^2(17 and -12)
(b+17)(b-12)=0
b=-17 or b=12
So the number is 12
Answer:
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost of purchasing supplies = $85
Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40
Let,
x be the number of pools cleaned.
y be the profit
Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies
y = 40x - 85
Hence,
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
