4*6 is 24
24-4 is 20
answer is 20
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for y, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation.
<h3>12x+3y=9</h3>
<u>First, you have to subtract by 12x from both sides.</u>
<u>Solve.</u>
<u>Then, you divide by 3 from both sides.</u>
<u>Solve.</u>
Use the distributive property.
<h3>⇒A(B+C)=AB+AC</h3>
9-12x=3(3-4x)
<u>Divide the numbers from left to right.</u>
3/3=1
3-4x
<u>Then, rewrite the problem down.</u>
- <u>Therefore, the correct answer is y=3-4x.</u>

Answer: 6.125 hour
Explanation:
Train 1 ===> 1 hour = 90 miles
Train 2 ===> 1 hour = 120 miles
1 hour = 90 + 120 = 210 miles apart
210 miles = 1 hour
735 miles = 735 ÷ 210 = 6.125 hours
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Payment per hour is $8
commission is 15%
Total number of hours worked for 2 weeks is 73 hours
Total sales=$2095
commission earned for 2 weeks:
15/100×2095
=$314.25
Total amount earned in 73 hours:
73×8=$584
Total amount earned in commission and wages:
584+314.25
=$898.25
