Answer:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- Maitri and Aabhas do a work in 12 hours
- Aabhas and Kavya do the work in 15 hours
- Kavya and Maitri do the work in 20 hours
<u>Solving</u>
- Take Maitri, Aabhas, and Kavya to be x, y, z respectively
- <u>x + y = 12</u> (1)
- <u>y + z = 15</u> (2)
- <u>x + z = 20</u> (3)
<u>Take Equation 1 and rewrite it so that it is equal to x.</u>
<u>Take Equation 2 and rewrite it so that it is equal to z.</u>
<u>Now, substitute these values in Equation 3.</u>
- x + z = 20
- 12 - y + 15 - y = 20
- -2y + 27 = 20
- 2y = 7
- y = 7/2 = <u>3.5 hours [Aabhas]</u>
<u></u>
<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 1.</u>
- x + 3.5 = 12
- x = <u>8.5 hours [Maitri]</u>
<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 2.</u>
- 3.5 + z = 15
- z = <u>11.5 hours [Kavya]</u>
<u></u>
<u>Add the values of x, y, and z together.</u>
- x + y + z
- 8.5 + 3.5 + 11.5
- 12 + 11.5
- <u>23.5 hours [together]</u>
The system of linear equations represents the situation is;
x + y = 125
x + y = 1255x + 8y = 775
<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>
Simultaneous equation is an equation in two unknown values are being solved for at the same time.
let
- number of quick washes = x
- number of premium washes = y
x + y = 125
5x + 8y = 775
From equation (1)
x = 125 - y
5x + 8y = 775
5(125 - y) + 8y = 775
625 - 5y + 8y = 775
- 5y + 8y = 775 - 625
3y = 150
y = 150/3
y = 50
x + y = 125
x + 50 = 125
x = 125 - 50
x = 75
Therefore, the number of quick washes and premium washes Monica’s school band had is 75 and 50 respectively.

Sorry I do not know. Sorry to let you down
No.
Tom forgot about the area of the top/roof, the floor and roof are different dimensions/areas, making his method incomplete.
He needs to find area of Roof, Floor then times height.
