X = games won
y = games lost
x + y = 72
x = 2y + 15
2y + 15 + y = 72
3y + 15 = 72
3y = 72 - 15
3y = 57
y = 57/3
y = 19 <=== lost games
x = 2y + 15
x = 2(19) + 15
x = 53 <=== won games
Answer:
John and Pam are paid $8.5 for each hour worked. John's share of the money is $29.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the hourly salary. John worked for 3.5 hrs, and Pam for two. We can represent this using the equation:
3.5x + 2x = 46.75, where the coefficients equals the amount of hours.
Let's solve for x!
5.5x=46.75
x = 46.75/5.5 = 17/2 = 8.5
John and Pam are paid 8.5 dollars per each hour worked.
To figure out John's share of the money, we will multiply the wage by the hours he worked.
8.5 x 3.5 = 29.75
Answer:
the first equation
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 9, 21 and 60 is: 3
Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7
Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The common factors between the three numbers are 1 and 3, but since 3 is the highest number, it is considered the GCF.
So you express fraction.
15 x (1/3)^ 3=15/27=5/9
