Translating that problem into an equation with x as a variable we get 3x + x +10 = 22. Combine like terms to get 4x + 10 = 22. Subtract 10 on both sides to get 4x = 12. Divide by 4 on both sides to get x = 3.
Now to plug in. The first number was represented by 3x. So substituting 3 for the x we get 3(3) = 9. And again for the second number represented by x+10, 3+10 = 13.
Your numbers are 9 and 13. To check just add them together. 13 + 9 is 22, I'll save ya the effort.
Any equation where you have a y and a x
Answer:
y-2=2/3(x+1) OR y=2/3x+8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2/3x-2 (2/3 represents your slope)
plug into this equation y-y1=m(x-x1) (m represents your slope, y1 and x1 are you points)
so y-2=2/3(x+1) OR y=2/3x+8/3 (move the -2 over, distribute the 2/3 to (x+1) and then add 2/3 to the 2 you moved over)
A) multiply his hourly rate by 1.5
12.50 x 1.5 = $18.75
B) double time is 2 times. Multiply his hourly rate by 2:
12.50 x 2 = $25
