Answer:
X=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6 times x = 6x
6 times positive 3 = 18
6x +18 = 24
-18 -18
6x = 6
6 6
x = 1 :)
Answer: C, In Step 2 the expression for y should be subsituted in the other equation.
Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
Always use PEMDAS as a key. Peretheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and then Subtraction.
7(x+8) could work for that
