Carey earns c hourly
Anderson earns $6 hourly which is also 1+ c/2
So, 6=1+c/2
12=2+c
c=$10
<span>Carey earns $10 hourly</span>
I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!
A) 8 + 7 + 5 = 20 parts
b) 220 kg ÷ 20 = 11
c) <span> 8 parts crushed gravel: 8 x 11 = 88 kg
7 parts water: 7 x 11 = 77 kg
5 parts cement: 5 x 11 = 55 kg</span>
<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>
<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
