Answer:
x = 15
Explanation:
First, add both equations on one side, and set it equal to 180° because it's supplementary:
2x + 8 + 8x + 22 = 180
combine like terms:
10x + 30 = 180
subtract 30 on both sides of the equation and you end up with:
10x = 150
divide both sides by 10 and you get:
x = 15
So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.
The answer is 3x^3+15x^2-12x.
You can either do;
1. 90(2) = 100(2)
180 = 200
In 3 minutes, they can write 200 words. So now we can divide by 3.
3/3 = 1 minute
200/3 ≈ 66.666
or
2. 90/3 = 30 secs
100/3 ≈ 33.333
30(2) = 1 minute
33.333(2) ≈ 66.666
Either way, the admin assistant can write 67 words per minute. (Rounded to the nearest whole)
