This is esay to do when you realize the the speed of mowing is addtive. This is if John mows at 1 lawn / (2/3) hour and Gerge mows at 1 lawn / 1hour, the total speed of mowing is:
1 / (2/3) + 1 = 3/2 + 1 = 5/2
=> 5/2 of lawn per hour
Now, the time is calcualted as the amount of lawn divided by the speed:
1 lawn / (5/2 lawn/hour) = 2/5 hour.
Answer: 2/5 of an hour.
Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation
3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4
sub back
y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2
x=4
y=2
(4,2) is soluiton
Answer:
4x+10
