Answer:
It is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx+b
y is the total cost.
x is the number of hours.
b : that's 16 dollars.
y = 9x+16
The problem states that the cost was 79 dollars.
Substitute that for y and solve for x.
79 = 9x+16
63 = 9x
x = 7 hours
Answer:
x = -4 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x/3 + 11 = 14
subtract 11 from each side of the equation:
-2x/3 = 3
multiply both sides by 3:
-2x = 9
divide both sides by -2:
x = -4 1/2
Gavin painted 12 pictures this week
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5+2/4 (find common denominator)
The common denominator is 20
2/5 is 8/20 (multiply by 4)
2/4 is 10/20 (multiply by 5)
8/20+10/20 is 18/20
If you simplify 18/20 this would by 9/10 if you divide by 2
so the total is 18/20 or 9/10 simplified
Hope this helps!!!!
Have a nice day :)
