Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
Answer:
2a2 + 4a + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
As, - (2a3 - 3a2 + 4a + 6) + (2a3 + 5a2 + 7)
= 2a2 + 4a + 13
1572/6 = 262 which is an integer so x could be 2
X could also be 8 because 1578/6 is 263
Answer:
what's the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
How do we find the equation of a line ?
Ans : We take the slope and the y - intercept and get them together.
How do you find slopes?
Ans - In order to find slop, we will need to use the slop formula which is
( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
The two points shown in the above question are
( 4 , -8 ) and ( 8 , 5 )
y₂ = 5 , y₁ = -8 and x₂ = 8 , x₁ = 4
Now plug in the values:
( 5 + 8 ) / ( 8 - 5 )
13 / 3
Hence, the slope is 13/3
The basic formula : y = mx + b
Where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.
We have found the slope, hence, the formula would become
... y = 13/3 x + b
Now take a coordinate and substitute it .
I will take ( 8 , 5 )
x = 8 and y = 5
Now plug in the values
... 5 = 13/3 × 5 + b
... 5 = 65/3 + b
Subtract 65/3 on both sides
... 5 - 65/3 = b
... -50/3 = b
Hence, the y-intercept is -50/3
Now plug in all the values to get the total equation...
The final equation : y = 13x/3 - 50/3
... y = 13x - 50 / 3
Hope my answer helps!!
