Length times with (l) (w)
[x-1]=5x+10
We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10
x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4
2) x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2
we have two possible solutions:
solution₁; x=-11/4
solution₂: x=-3/2
we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4 - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4 + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4 This solution don´t work.
2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2 - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2 + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.
Therefore:
Answer: x=-3/2.

I would say direct because the more gallons of gasoline used, the bigger the cost.
Each sandwich is toasted for 2 minutes and it takes 3 seconds to flip it.
The first two sandwiches will be toasted in 2 minutes (toasting) and 6 seconds (flipping).
The two will then be switched which will take 10 seconds.
The next two will again take 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
The final sandwich will take 5 seconds to be placed.
The final sandwich will also take 2 minutes to toast and 3 seconds to flip.
Total time:
2 + 2 +2 = 6 minutes
6 + 10 + 6 + 3 = 25 seconds
Total time is 6 minutes and 25 seconds.
