Answer: Ruby: 22 hours, Isaac: 16 hours & Svetlana: 88 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by assigning letters to represent our unknowns:

R (hours Ruby worked)

I (hours Isaac worked)

S (hours Svetlana worked)

Now let's see if we can express all three unknowns in terms of one unknown, according to the facts given in the problem:

R = I + 6 (Ruby worked 6 more hours than Isaac)

S = 4R (Svetlana worked 4 times more hours than Ruby)

We can see that we can express the hours Isaac worked in terms of Ruby:

R = I + 6, therefore, I = R - 6

Now we have all three unknowns expressed in terms of one unknown (R). Now we can write an equation to express the given sum of their worked hours (126) in terms of our expressions for one unknown (R):

R + (R - 6) + 4R =126

Now let's solve our equation for the value of R and then use our expressions for R to calculate the values for I and S:

R + R - 6 + 4R = 126

6R - 6 = 126

6R = 126 + 6

6R = 132

R = 132/6

R = 22 (hours Ruby worked)

I = R - 6

I = 22 - 6

I = 16 (hours Isaac worked)

S = 4R

S = 4(22)

S = 88 (hours Svetlana worked)

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let x hours be the number of hours Issac worked

    x+6 hours be the number of hours Ruby worked

   4(x+6) hours be the number of hours Svetlana worked.

x + x + 6 + 4(x+6) = 126

x + x + 6 + 4x +24 = 126

                  6x +30 = 126

                         6x = 96

                           x = 16

Therefore, Issac worked 16 hours.

                 Ruby worked 16+6 = 22 hours

                 Svetlana worked 22 × 4 = 88 hours.

What is a common factor?
dybincka [34]
Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number. When you find the factors of two or more numbers, and then find some factors are the same ("common"), then they are the "common factors<span>"

</span>Example: 12 and 30
• The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
• The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 30
<span>So the common factors of 12 and 30 are: 1, 2, 3 and 6
</span>
-Hope this helped.

Help? I'm pretty confuse on both of these? Please explain?
MAVERICK [17]
35 is the first answer (BAE ~ DAC)
36. We must divide 20 by 2 to get 10 because all the other sides are 2x the size. 3x-5=10   (Add 5) 3x=15 (Divide by 3) x=5 so the last answer choice is correct.
