Answer:

28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Adena, Julius, and Tia volunteered to read to children at the public library.

Let us represent, the number of hours worked by

Adena = x

Julius = y

Tia = z

Julius worked two hours less than Tia.

y = z - 2

z = y + 2

Adena worked twice as many hours as Julius.

x = 2y

Altogether they worked 58 hours.

x + y + z = 58.... Equation 1

We substitute 2y for x and y + 2 for z in Equation 1

2y + y + y + 2 = 58

4y + 2 = 58

Collect like terms

4y = 58 - 2

4y = 56

y = 56/4

y = 14

We are the find the number of hours Adena worked which is represented by x

Note that:

x = 2y

y = 14, hence,

x = 2 × 14

x = 28 hours

Therefore, the number of hours Adena worked is 28 hours

The variable was whether people approve or disapprove of the president. They were trying to poll just the people that live in the main part of the USA. There is slight bias that comes from excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

Solve for f<br> -f +2 + 4f = 8 - 3f
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

f=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let start off with doing -f plus 4f which gives you 3f. The equation would now be 2+3f=8-3f. Add 3f so you can cancel out the -3f and add the 3f to the other 3f. Now your equation is 2+6f=8. Cancel out do by doing -2. (Don't forget to to it to the 8 also.) Now your equation is 6f=6. Divide 6 from both sides to get 1. (You divide because you want to get f alone.

What happens to the value of the expression 2t/t as t decreases
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

  it stays the same until t=0, where it is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

2t/t = 2 . . . . when t ≠ 0

2t/t = undefined when t = 0.

The value of t can increase or decrease and the value of the ratio remains the same. The value has a "hole" at t=0, where it is undefined. Otherwise, its value is always 2.
