x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.
x = 8
PS = 3x + 3 + 21
PS = 3x + 24
PS = 3(8) + 24
PS = 24 + 24
PS = 48
Answer:
the amount due for 3 hours would be $52 + ($34/hr)(3 hrs) = $154
Step-by-step explanation:
Write two equations, one for the total cost payable to Water R Us and another to Clogs:
$52 + ($34/hr)t = $34 + ($40/hr)t, or
$18 = ($6/hr)t, which tells us that t = 3 (That's 3 hours).
At the time the charges from the two companies would be the same (3 hours into the job), the amount due for 3 hours would be
$52 + ($34/hr)(3 hrs) = $154
Answer:
0.023
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5 = 7
2x = 7 + 5
2x = 12
2x/2 = 12/2
x = 6
to check:
2x - 5 = 7
2(6) - 5 = 7
12 - 5 = 7
7 = 7
