<h3>The equation, when solved for x, gives the amount of money Jim earned last week is: 700 = 4x - 20</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Jim earned $700 this week
This was $20 less than four times the amount he earned last week
To find: amount of money Jim earned last week
Let "x" be the amount of money Jim earned last week
From given,
Jim earnings this week = $20 less than four times the amount he earned last week
Therefore,
700 = 4x - 20
Thus the equation is found
So 22.5 per barrel
so 22.5
x represents the number of 22.5 barrels
y represents the number of 35 barrels
so
x+y=1250
then find the total cost
1250 barrels
27.5 per so mutiply by 1250 and get 34375 total cost
22.5x+35y=34375
we have 2 senctances
x+y=1250
22.5x+35y=34375
elimination
mulitply first equation by -35 to clear y
-35x-35y=-43750
add to second equation
-35x-35y=-43750
<u>22.5x+35y=34375 +</u>
-12.5x+0y=-9375
-12.5x=-9375
multiply -1
12.5x=9375
divie both sides by 12.5
x=750
subsitute
x+y=1250
750+y=1250
subtract 750
y=500
750 barrells of the 22.5 oil should be included and
500 barrells of the 35 oil should be included
