A cleaning company charges x dollars per hour to clean floors and y dollars per hour to clean the rest of the house

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(15,18)

Step-by-step explanation:

write two equations with the information provided.

2x + 3y = 84

x + 4y = 87

use the property of substitution to answer.

x + 4y = 87,   x = 87 - 4y

2(87 - 4y) + 3y = 84

174 - 8y + 3y = 84

174 - 84 = 8y - 3y

90 = 5y

90/5 = y

y = 18

Add the value of Y to an original equation. Solve for X

2x + 3(18) = 84

2x + 54 = 84

2x = 84 - 54

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15

How many solutions does the equation −2y + 2y + 3 = 3 have? One Zero Infinitely many Three
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation −2y + 2y + 3 = 3  we see only one variable, and that variable is of the first power.  Ordinarily, we'd say that this equation will have 1 solution.  However, if we combine like terms, we get 0 + 3 = 3, or 0 = 0, which is true for any and all y values.  Infinitely many solutions.

                                         Three friends are renting
nexus9112 [7]

It is given that:

Monthly Rent = A

Total Money Paid to Landlord = Y

The landlord requires initial payment to include:

  • 1st month's rent
  • \frac{1}{2} month's rent or 50% of monthly rent for Security Deposit
  • 40% of monthly rent for  utility bills
  • 5% of monthly rent for health club
  • 13% of monthly rent per person for other services

Also, Total Amount Paid to the Landlord = $2574

Number of People Sharing the Apartment = 3

Basis the above information,

Y = (100% * A) + (50% * A) + (40% * A) + (5% * A) + (13% * A * 3)

⇒ Y = A + (0.5 * A) + (0.4 * A) + (0.05 * A) + (0.39 * A)

⇒ Y = A + (0.5 * A) + (0.4 * A) + (0.05 * A) + (0.39 * A)

⇒ Y = 2.34 * A

Substituting the value of Y to determine A

⇒ 2,574 = 2.34 * A

⇒ A = 1,100

Hence, the monthly rent is $1,100
