Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"One number is eight less than a second number."

x = y-8

"Twice the first is 12 more than 4 times the second."

2x = 4y+12

substitution

2(y-8) = 4y + 12

2y - 16 = 4y + 12

2y = -28

y = -14

x = y-8 = -22

The cost of 15 ounces if chees is $6.00 what is the cost of 12 ounces of cheese
QveST [7]

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions. Let x be the cost for 12 ounces of cheese. We will start like this:

15 ounces : 6 $ = 12 ounces : x $

x $ = (6 $ * 12 ounces)/15 ounces

x $ = 72 $/15

x = 4,8$

The cost of 12 ounces of cheese is 4,8$.

Hope this helps!

Two printers working together can complete a job in 6 hours. Working alone, one
timama [110]

Answer:

Press A takes 10 hours to do a certain job. So Press A does (1/10)th of the job in an hour.

Press A and Press B, together do (1/2.5) or (4/10)th of the job in an hour.

So Press B does (4/10)-(1/10) = (3/10)th of the job in an hour. So Press B can do the job in (10/3) hours or 3 hour and 20 mins.

Check: A does (1/10)th and B does (3/10)th part of the job in an hour. A and B together will take (1/10)+(3/10) = 4/10th of the job in an hour. So they will complete the job in 10/4 = 2.5 hours. Correct.

Answer: Press B can do the job in 3 hour and 20 mins.
