ANSWER
Paul and Matt will take

to install the floor working together.
EXPLANATION
First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took

to do the work together.
Then, the rate of working together is,

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

Simplify the left hand side


We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

A would be the correct answer because the y variable only has a coefficient of 1. So we would solve for y, which would get us y=3x+5, then we would substitute the value in the second equation which would look like -4x+5(3x+5)=58. Hope this helpss. :)

Answer:
C. y = 50x + 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
100 miles in 2 hours is 100/2 = 50 miles per hour. Multiplying that rate by x hours gives the miles traveled in addition to the 3.5 miles so far. The appropriate equation for miles traveled is ...
y = 50x +3.5 . . . matches choice C
