Using a system of equations, it is found that Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Amount of hours worked by Juan.
- Variable y: Amount of hours worked by Debbie.
Juan and Debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs", and earned a total of 765 for the week, hence:
9x + 9y = 765
Simplifying the expression by 9:
x + y = 85 -> x = 85 - y.
Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week, hence:
y = x + 5.
Since x = 85 - y, we replace in the expression:
y = 85 - y + 5.
2y = 90.
y = 45.
Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

#SPJ1
You can do
3 * 2 and 11 * 2 which would be 6:22 and is still equal to the ratio 3:11. Your explanation can be the when divided by 2 or the number you multiplied by, you would get the original ratio
Examples:
6:22
9:33
12:44
Elimination:
3x - 9y = 3
6x - 3y = -24
3x - 9y = 3
18x - 9y = -72
(subtract)
-15x = 75
÷ -15
x = -5
(3 × -5) - 9y = 3
-15 - 9y = 3
+ 15
-9y = 18
÷ -9
y = -2
Substitution:
6x - 3y = -24
+ 3y
6x = -24 + 3y
÷ 6
x = 4 + 0.5y
3(4 + 0.5y) - 9y = 3
12 + 1.5y - 9y = 3
12 - 7.5y = 3
- 12
-7.5y = -9
÷ -7.5
y = 1.2
x = 4 + (0.5 × 1.2)
x = 4 + 0.6
x = 4.6
So this one didn't fail as much, but I got different numbers. If you have to give in values, I'd give in the values from the elimination because I don't trust myself when it comes to the substitution
Answer:
X=15
Step-by-step explanation:
A +B + C = 180
2x +4x+ 6x = 180
12x =180
X= 15
STEP 1
Bandages: multiply number of total kits by number of bandages per kit
9 * 24= 216 bandages total
STEP 2
Antiseptic Wipes: multiply number of total kits by number of antiseptic wipes per kit
9 * 16= 144 antiseptic wipes total
STEP 3
find difference between steps 1 & 2
= 216 bandages - 144 antiseptic wipes
= 72 more bandages
ANSWER: She packed 72 more bandages than antiseptic wipes.
Hope this helps! :)
