W=normal hourly wage

4W-12.75+5*1.5W-8.50=70.75

4W-12.75+7.5W-8.50=70.75

11.5W-21.25=70.75

11.5W=92

W=8

Normal hourly rate is $8/hour

Check

32-12.75+60-8.50=70.75

Grams of grapes each sister will get if Doreen shares the remaining equally:

1530 : 2 = 765 gr

Sloan [31]

Answer:

b.

( -3, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 13 = 2x + 1

6x -2x = 1-13

4x = -12

x = -12/4 = -3

y = 6x + 13

y = 6(-3) +13 = -18+13 = -5
