Answer:
Ooh man, this was back in geometry I think, I think the answer is 4 if my calculations are correct.
i think the bigger side is twice the size of the smaller side, so 2 times 8 is 16,
16 = 5x - 4
x = 4
So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked
We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200
so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):
15h =< 200
(divide both sides by 15)
h =< 13 1/3
So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.
It will take 6 years for that to happen.
You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older.
Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation.
6(x) - 2 = x + 28
6x - 2 = x + 28
5x - 2 = 28
5x = 30
x = 6
This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.
Answer:
x = 3 and y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are :
y=5x−10 ..(1)
y=−3x+14 ...(2)
Subtract equation (2) from (1).
y-y = 5x−10-(−3x+14)
0 = 5x-10+3x-14
0= 8x-24
8x = 24
x = 3
Put the value of x in equation (1).
y=5(3)−10
= 15-10
y = 5
So, the values of x and y are 3 and 5 respectively.
