Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of hours A

y = number of hours B

x + y = 23

5.7x + 7.1y = 143.7

from the first equation we get

x = 23 - y

this we use in the second

5.7×(23 - y) + 7.1y = 143.7

131.1 - 5.7y + 7.1y = 143.7

1.4y = 12.6

y = 12.6/1.4 = 9

x = 23 - y = 23 - 9 = 14

she worked 14 hours on job A and 9 hours on job B.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know: 
</span>\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}.
From the above equation we get x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20.
then \frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
Solving the above equation for y we get: y=160
So x=400
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
