<span>A
hair stylists works ¼ to trim customer’s hair
=> 1/6 to style customer’s hair
=> 1/6 + ¼
Find the least common multiple of both denominator:
=> 1/6 + ¼ = 10/24

=> 5/12
Now, he works 3 1/3 hour each day in 5
days
=> 3 1/3 x 5
=> 16 ½ hours in 5 days
Now, divide
=> 16 ½ divided by 5/12
=> 39 ; approximately 39 customer in 5 days can a hairstylist accommodate.</span>
4x - y = 61
2y = x
substitute x = 2y in first equaation:-
4(2y) - y = 61
7y = 61
y = 61/7
so x = 2 * 61/7 = 122/7
y = 8 5/7 and x = 17 3/7
