4.5(4-x) + 36 = 202 - 2.5(3x + 28)
Distributive property
18 - 4.5x + 36 = 202 - 7.5x - 70
Combine like terms
-4.5x + 54 = -7.5x + 132
Add 7.5x to both sides
3x = 78
Divide both sides by 3
x = 26
There are two ways to find or determine for the value of
c. In the first method, we can use addition and subtraction to isolate the
variable c from the other variables. In the second method, we can use the
transposition of variables to isolate the variable c from the other variables.
So solving for the value of c:
<span>Using 1st method: Addition and Subtraction</span>
We are given:
240 = 6 z + c
Simply subtract 6 z on both sides:
240 – 6 z = 6 z + c – 6 z
Cancelling 6 z – 6 z on the right side:
240 – 6 z = c
or
c = 240 – 6 z
<span>Using the 2nd method: Transposition</span>
240 = 6 z + c
What we are going to do here is to simply transpose the
variable 6 z from the right side to the left side of the equation so that we
are left with c alone on the right side. Always remember that when we
transpose, the symbol becomes opposite. That is:
240 + (- 6 z) = c
240 – 6 z = c
or
<span>c = 240 – 6 z</span>
8(5) - 4y = 39
40 - 4y = 39
-4y = -1, y = 1/4
Solution: y = 1/4

If it takes 4 people to get a job done in 20 hours, then in 10 hours, it will take 2 people to complete the same job.
To find out how many people are needed to do this job in 10 hours, we can see that we got to 10 hours by dividing 20 by two so, to see how many people are needed to complete this same job in ten hours, we would just divide 4 people by 2 which is 2 people.
So, in conclusion, if it takes a certain job to be done in 20 hours by 4 people, then it would take 10 hours for that same job to be completed by 2 people.
Glad I could help!
