It is the first answer, x=4; y=8
Set up and add equations:
4x+y=24
+ x-y=-4
So 5x=20 (the y’s cancel)
X=4
Then substitute in 4(4)+y=24
16+y=24
Y=8
Find the rate at which you work, that is, the # of walls painted per hour:
13 1/3 walls 40/3
------------------ = ---------- wall per hour
14 1/4 hr 57/4
Keep 40/3 as it is; invert the divisor (57/4) and then multiply the result by 40/3:
40 4 160 wall
------ * ------ = --------------- = approx. 0.94 wall in one hour, or 160/171 wall / hr
3 57 171 hr
You have to combine like terms.
Answer: -2a+7
Hey there!
3^2 + 7 • 2
3^2 = 3 • 3 = 9
9 + 7 • 2
7 • 2 = 14
9 + 14 = 23
Answer: 23 ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
