Answer:
The number of carpets cleaned by new company per week is 249
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume :
The number of carpets cleaned by old company in 1 week = m
So, the number of carpets cleaned by new company in 1 week
= 3 x ( Number of carpets cleaned by old company)
= 3 (m) = 3 m
Total carpet cleaned altogether in a week = 332
So, Total Carpets cleaned by both companies in 1 week
= Number of carpets cleaned by ( Old + New) company in 1 week.
= m + 3 m = 4 m
⇒ 4 m = 332
or, m = 332 / 4 = 83 , or m = 83
Hence number of carpets cleaned by old company per week = m = 83
The number of carpets cleaned by new company per week
= 3 m = 3 x 83= 249
Simplify both sides:
x
—- = -9
4
now isolate the variable (x):
x= -9 • 4
x= -36
Four times the sun of twice a number and -3
