Answer:

$s=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2s-2=-9-5s$

Add 2 to both sides:

$2s-2+2=-9-5s+2$

$2s=-5s-7$

Add 5x from both sides:

$2s+5s=-5s-7+5s$

$7s=-7$

Divide both sides by 7:

$\frac{7s}{7}=\frac{-7}{7}$

$s=-1$

Colin earned $46 raking leaves. If he worked 1.5 hours yesterday and 4.25 hours today, how much did he earn per hour?

liberstina [14]

First, you add 1.5 and 4.25 together and you get 5.75. Then, you take $46 and divide it by 5.75 to get 8. So, the answer is 8. Hope this helped :)
