I put the information into this equation 5+0.65x=10+0.45x
I solved the equation by first subtracting the 0.45x from both sides to get the variable on one side. I was left with 5+0.20x=10. Then I subtracted the 5 from both sides and got 0.20x=5. Finally I divided both sides by 0.20 to get the X by itself and got X=25
Value of x is used to consider unknown value. The letter “x” is commonly used in algebra to indicate an unknown value. It is referred to as a “variable” or, in some cases, a “unknown.” In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable
Wilda can do the job in 4 hours ... she does 1/4 (or 0.25) of it each hour.
Karla can do it in 5 hours ... she does 1/5 (or 0.2) of it each hour.
Wilda worked alone for 1 hour ... 0.25 of the job was done before her helper
arrived. So only 0.75 of the job remained to be done together.
Working together, they accomplish (0.25 + 0.2) = 0.45 of the job in 1 hour.
How many times do they need to do 0.45 of the job in order to finish
the 0.75 of it that remains ? That's the number of hours it will take them,
working together.
0.75 / 0.45 = <em>1 and 2/3</em>
After Wilda worked alone for 1 hour and Karla came along to join her, it will
take them another <em>1 hour and 40 minutes</em> to finish the job and go for a swim.
