Answer:
<h2>22 hours and 10 hours </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
let the jobs be x and y, so that
x+y=32--------1
9x+7y=248----2
x=32-y
substitute x=32-y for x in equation 2 we have
9(32-y)+7y=248
open bracket we have
288-9y+7y=248
-2y=248-288
-2y=-40
2y=40
divide both sides by 2 we have
y=40/2
y= 10 hours
subtitute y=10 for y in equation 1 to find x
x+10=32--------1
x=32-10
x=22
x=22 hours
3x-9=2x+4
3x-9+9=2x+4+9
3x=2x+13
3x-2x=2x-2x+13
x=13
Check:
3(13)-9=2(13)+4
39-9=26+4
30=30
I'm not sure if this is right but you can set up an equation and solve to find Maggie's age:
Maggie's brother's age = b
Maggie's age = m
b = 12 - 3m
44 = 12-3m
12-3m = 44
-12 -12
-3m = 32
÷ 3 ÷3
m = 10.67
So this would be Maggie's age
I hope this helped :)
The correct answer would be: C. 44
Explanation: If you're trying to find out x's value, you have to do the inverse operation which means if it's subtraction, you add. So to find x's value, you'd add 36 + 8 = x. And 36 + 8 = 44. So therefore, x = 44. That means the answer is C.
