The question being the case, the equation is: 8x + 6y = 136.
Where x is the number of hours spent on job A and y is the number of house spent on job B. Now to solve for both variables.
Notice that if you add x and y, you should get a total of 20 hours so x + y = 20.
To get x, x = 20 - y. Replace the answer on the original equation gives you 8(20-y) + 6y = 136.
160 - 8y + 6y = 136
160 - 2y = 136
-2y = 136 - 160
-2y = -24
<span>Solve for y by dividing both sides of this equation by -2 to get y:
y = 12
Replace y on the x + y = 20 equation to get x.
x + 12 = 20
x = 20 = 12
x = 8
Therefore:
x = 8 hours on job A
y = 12 hours on job B

Answer:
3.25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
if the car is going 40mph then devide 130 by 40 to get the amount of time. that's how I was taught in school, sorry if it's wrong.
The decimal from the fraction is .375
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
9y = -4x + 6
y = -4/9x + 2/3
First of all, if you are traveling more, then you will have to take more time to get there. So since the answer A is less than the original number 50 you can rule that choice out. Now to solve, you will put 50 over 55 such as this 50/55. This represents miles/minutes. So next you will put 75/x since we are trying to solve for x (minutes). Now our problem looks like this 50/55 times 75/x. To solve the answer you will need to cross multiply. You will multiply 75 and 55 together to get 4,125. (This will be your numerator, or top number) Next you will multiply 50 and x, this gives you 50. (This will be your denominator, or bottom number. Now you have 4,125/50. Divide your two numbers and you get 82.5! The answer is D. 82.5! Hope I helped!
