Multiply each hourly rate by x ( time to complete the work) add it to the service call for each and then set the equations equal:

50 + 40x = 30 +45x

Subtract 30 from both sides:

20 + 40x = 45x

Subtract 40x from both sides:

20 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4

The length is 4 hours.

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8. If the digits are interchanged ,new number is 10 more than double the original
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Original number 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

xy - two-digit number

1) x + y = 8

2) Original two-digit number can be written as

10*x + y

3) If the digits interchanged yx,

then the new number can be written as

10*y + x

4)  Double the original number is

2*(10*x + y)

5) New number is 10 more than double the original number

(10*y + x) - (2*(10*x + y)) = 10

6) Now we have the system of 2 equations:

x + y = 8

(10*y + x) - (2*(10*x + y)) = 10 -----> 10y + x - (20x + 2y) = 10 ---> 8y - 19x = 10

x = 8 - y

8y - 19(8 - y) = 10

8y - 152 +19y = 10

27y = 162

y = 6

x = 8 - y = 8 - 6 = 2

x = 2

So, x =2, y = 6.

Original number 26.

Check:

Original number 26.

New number 62.

Double of the original number = 2*26= 52.

New number is 10 more than double the original number :

62 - 52 = 10 True
