Maybe write it down, like how you see other math problems.
And then solve it!
:D
Answer
456.50=159 + 3.5x
OR
3.5x=456.50-159
Reason
456.50 is the total
159 is for the parts
3.5 is the number of hours
So to find the cost you have to find out how much it cost for the labor by subtracting the total cost from the cost of the parts. To find the cost of labor for each hour you have to divide the total cost of labor by the number of hours used to work on the computer
According to the question,
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,
y = 2n - 5 ........................this is your equation
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.
Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now,
Using unitary method,
Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
= 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n
Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.
We would divide the shape into a rectangle and a trapezium
The rectangle is of length, 24.5 ft and width 10.75 ft
Area = 24.5 * 10.75 = 263.375 square feet.
Trapezium : Parallel sides are 18.5 ft and 24.5 ft
Height: 12 - 10.75 = 1.25ft
Area of Trapezium = (1/2)*(Sum of Parallel sides)*height
= 1/2 * (18.5+24.5)* 1.25
= 1/2 * 43* 1.25 = 26.875
Total Area = Area of Rectangle + Area of Trapezium
= 263.375 + 26.875 = 290.25
Area = 290.25 ft² (D)
