A.) $15 would seem like it would be right
Answer:
The expression –3 + 2x is equivalent to 2x – 3. I know it is equivalent because for every value of x that is substituted in, the two expressions simplify to the same value. I took the expression and used the commutative property to not change the value.
Jaqleen unloads a truck in x hours and Marco takes 2x hours.
Working together (x*2x) / (x+2x) = 5 hours
2x^2 / 3x = 5 Multiplying both sides by 3x equals 2x^2 -15x = 0
x = 7.5 hours
So Jaqleen takes 7.5 hours and Marco takes 15 hours
Double-Check (7.5 * 15) / (7.5 + 15) = 112.5 / 22.5 equals
5 hours Correct!!
