Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that that he spent washing cars.
Let y represent the number of hours that that he spent landscaping.
In a week, he can work no more than 19 total hours. This means that
x + y ≤ 19- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Jacob is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and making $8 per hour landscaping. He must earn at least $170. This means that
10x + 8y ≥ 170 - - - - - - - - - -2
If Jacob worked 4 hours landscaping, it means that
x + 4 ≤ 19
x ≤ 19 - 4
x ≤ 15
Also,
10x + 8 × 4 ≥ 170
10x + 32 ≥ 170
10x ≥ 170 - 32
10x ≥ 138
10x ≥ 138/10
x ≥ 13.8
The minimum number of hours is 14
Answer:
1st number: 22
2nd number: 16
3rd number: 64
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y + z = 102
x = 6 + y
z = 4y
plug that in!
(6 + y) + y + (4y) = 102
get rid of the parenthesis (I added them so you could see what I was replacing) and add like terms.
6 + 6y = 102
move 6 to the other side.
6y = 96
y = 16
now that you know one number, you can solve the equations for the rest!
x = 6 + (16)
z = 4(16)
__________________________________________________________
x = 22
y = 16
z = 64
Answer:
There are no simple factors to this expression. You can however solve for x, giving you:
x = -1 ± √(y + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no simple pair of factors to this equation, so we'll have to go through the full process. You can see that by observing that there is no pair of rational numbers that add to make 2 and multiply to make -2. We can however solve for x:
