-7 and 5
You can get this by factoring to the following
(x + 7)(x - 5)
Then set both equal to zero and solve individually.
Answer:
3/x + 2/(x+1) = 3/5x
[3 · 5(x + 1) + 2 · 5x] / 5x(x + 1) = 3(x + 1) / 5x(x + 1)
3 · 5(x + 1) + 2 · 5x = 3(x + 1)
15x + 15 + 10x = 3x + 3
15x + 10x - 3x = -15 + 3
22x = -12
x = -12/22 = -6/11
Answer:
$8.8 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the equation is simple.
Time (hours) * Money (per hour) = Total
We know the time he worked for and the total amount he earned, so just replace in this equation and find the unknown number
12.5 * money = 110
To find the money he earns per hour we should just simply divide the total amount he earned by the hours he spent working
money = 110/12.5
money = 8.8$
You can also check it out to make sure it's correct.
If he earns 8.8$ per hour and worked for 12.5 hours how much he'll earn? Let's find out
8.8 * 12.5 =?
8.8 * 12.5 = 110, the same total amount so our solution must be correct.
