The solution is subtract4.7x on both sides. Then you get -2.2x=7.7. Divide 7.7 by -2.2 and you get x= -3.5
The answer is 10:40
so 1:4
add it up
1+4=5
so 5 total units
$50=5 units
divide by 5
$10=1 unit
so 1:4=10:10 times 4=10:40
the answer is 10:40
Answer:
x = 20√2 and y = 20√3.
or x = 28.28 and y = 34.64 to the nearest hundredths.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the 2 'inside' triangles. They are similar.
So we have x / (60-40) = 40 / x
x/ 20 = 40 /x
x^2 = 800
x = √800
x = 20√2
y = √(800 + 20^2)
= √(1200)
= 20√3.

Here 345 represents the total area (in sq ft) shoveled; x repres. Melinda's rate and y represents Paul's rate. We need to solve for x and y and then subtract the smaller from the larger.
</span>30x + 30y = 450 Multiply this eqn by 2: 6<span>0x + 60y = 900
</span>20x + 25y = 345 Mult this eqn by -3: -60x -75y = -1035
---------------------------
-15y = -135
y = 9
This comes to 9 square feet per minute.
Now, let's find x: 30x + 30y = 450; 30x + 270 = 450; 30x = 180; x = 6
Melinda can shovel 6 sq ft in 1 min, whereas Paul can shovel 9.
The difference is (9 - 6) sq ft / min, or 3 sq ft / min (answer)
