Hmm idk if this is what you need, but here we go: Amy is 5 years older than her brother, John. Her age is 19. How old is John?
x-John
x+5=19
x=19-5=14
John is 14.
Answer:
Can help! (specify the kind of help - tutoring, Assignment help, etc.)
-------------------------------------------
Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x
-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5
-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet
-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.

Answer:
3.93 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The first 4 hours is at 20 hours / 4 hours or 5 dollars an hours
The second line has a slope of 2.50 dollars an hour
But there is also a surcharge when you go over 4 hours
That is a 5 dollar flat rate at 4 hours
Assuming that we do not include the flat rate in the hourly calculation
4 hours * 5 dollar + 3 hours * 2.50 = 20+7.50
27.50 is the hourly charge
Divide by 7 hours
3.928571429
3.93 per hour
-0.8b+4.1c-(-3.2b)-0.1c
-(-3.2b)= 3.2b
4.1c-0.1c=4c
-0.8b+4c+3.2b
-0.8b+3.2b=2.4b
4c+2.4b
