The last answer Is wrong it should have a negative slope
R=number of hours ruby worked
i=number of hours issac worked
s=number of hours shetland worked
ruby worked 8 more than issac
r=8+i
shetland worked 4 times as many as ruby
s=4r
total they worked 136
r+i+s=136
so
we gots
r=8+i
s=4r
for r=8+i
solve for i
minus 8 both sides
r-8=i
so
r+i+s=136
subsitute r-8 for i and 4r for s
r+r-8+4r=136
6r-8=136
add 8 to both sides
6r=144
divide both sides by 6
r=24
sub back
r-8=i
24-8=i
16=i
s=4r
s=4(24)
s=96
ruby worked 24 hours
issac worked 16 hours
shetland worked 96 hours
Answer: nickels = 14, dimes = 42, quarters = 18
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let n represent nickels <em>which has a value of $0.05 </em>
Let d represent dimes <em>which has a value of $0.10</em>
Let q represent quarters <em>which has a value of $0.25</em>
It is given that:
n = n
d = 3n
q = n + 4
and their total value is $9.40 ⇒ n + d + q = $9.40
Use substitution to find the quantity of nickels:
.05(n) + .10(3n) + .25(n + 4) = 9.40
5n + 10(3n) + 25(n+4) = 940 <em>multiplied by 100 </em>
5n + 30n + 25n + 100 = 940 <em>distributed</em>
60n + 100 = 940 <em>added like terms</em>
60n = 840 <em>subtracted 100</em>
n = 14 <em>divided by 60</em>
n = 14
d = 3n
= 3(14)
= 42
q = n + 4
= (14) + 4
= 18
I believe it should just be 10m
The number would be -10.8
19 + (-10.8) = 8.2
I hope that helps!
