John brought 20 water melons each water melon cost him 2 dollars. He gave his friend Bob 3/4 of the watermelons. In return bob gave him double the amount of water melons back. How many watermelons does John have now? How much money did he spend on each water melon?
Answer:
3x + 9 + 4x + x = 8x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
Answer:
X = -2
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute y=x + 4 in the second equation to find x
x+4 = 2x + 6
subtract x from both sides
4 = x + 6
subtract 6 from both sides
-2 = x
put -2 in for x in the first equation
y= 2
The time for the job for which the two company are the same is 16
<h3>How to form the equation and find the cost?</h3>
A yard cleanup service charges a $345 fee plus $16.25 per hour. Therefore,
using linear equation,
y = mx + c
where
Therefore,
y = 345 + 16.25x
Another cleanup service charges a $213 fee plus $24.50 per hour. Therefore,
y = 213 + 24.50x
Hence, the time when both cost are the same is as follows;
213 + 24.50x = 345 + 16.25x
213 - 345 = 16.25x - 24.50x
-132 = -8.25x
x = 132 / 8.25
x = 16
