Answer:
(3, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = 2x - 4 → (1)
3x + y = 11 → (2)
Substitute y = 2x - 4 into (2)
3x + 2x - 4 = 11
5x - 4 = 11 ( add 4 to both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
Solution is (3, 2)
The answer as a fraction is 14/15
Answer:
48 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Time taken by Janet = 3 hours
Janet's rate = 1/3 job / hour
Time taken by Garry = 2 hours
Garry's rate = 1/2
Rate of working together :
1/3 + 1/2 = (2 + 3) /6 = 5/6 job/hour
If Janet works for one hour before Garry joins ;
1/3 of the job has been done by Janet
1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the job left
Hence to finish the job together, it will take :
Fraction of JOB left ÷ rate of working together
(2/3 ÷ 5/6)
= 2 /3 * 6/5
= 12 / 15
= 4 / 5 hours
To minutes
(4/5) * 60
= 240/5
= 48 minutes
