I'm pretty sure the answer is "19", but if i'm wrong please don't kill me.
To find how much time the machine that took the longer job is, you would create an equation in terms of X, the amount of time it takes one of the machines.
Please see the attached picture for the work.
51 minutes is the longer time.
34 minutes for the other machine.
Answer:
x=-1/85; y=-283/85; z=2/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Using an algebraic method like elimination or substitution would take a lot of steps which could lead to mistake the calculations. In this case, I decided to use the Gaussian elimination. We can express the system in matrix form as follows:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-4&6\\9&-3&1\\5&0&9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}14\\10\\1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%26-4%266%5C%5C9%26-3%261%5C%5C5%260%269%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D14%5C%5C10%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
To begin the calculations, we write the system in augmented matrix form and use the Gaussian elimination:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}2&-4&6&|&14\\9&-3&1&|&10\\5&0&9&|&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccccc%7D2%26-4%266%26%7C%2614%5C%5C9%26-3%261%26%7C%2610%5C%5C5%260%269%26%7C%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
By applying the Gaussian elimination, the final matrix is the following:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&0&|&-1/85\\0&1&0&|&-283/85\\0&0&1&|&2/17\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccccc%7D1%260%260%26%7C%26-1%2F85%5C%5C0%261%260%26%7C%26-283%2F85%5C%5C0%260%261%26%7C%262%2F17%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
In order to verify the results, it´s enough to substitute the calculated values in the original equations to see if the equalities are correct. Here you can see the verification for all of the equations:

Answer:
Look below
Step-by-step explanation:
372,000 = 372,000
372,000 = 300,000 + 70,000 + 2,000
