Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce both fractions.
$119.85 is the total amount he earned in 2 weeks
He mows his neighbor's lawn each week for $25...So if he mows for 2 weeks it should be
$25×2=$50
Darian gets paid $6.35 an hour to help out at his dad's shop...
Let X be the number of hours Darian worked at his dad's shop in the two weeks
So we can now make an equation to find X
(X×$6.35)+($25×2)=$119.85
(X×$6.35)+$50=$119.85
X×$6.35=$119.85-$50
X×$6.35=$69.85
X=$69.85÷$6.35
X=11
Therefore the number of hours Darian worked at his dad's shop in those two weeks is 11
Answer:
Cost of a pound of chocolate chips: $3.5
Cost of a pound of walnuts: $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
x - cost of a pound of chocolate chips
y - cost of a pound of walnuts
We create two equations based on the information we have:
3x+2y=13
8x+4y=33
The whole point of these problems os to get rid of x or y. In this question, we can do this by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2, and then subtracting it from the second equation:
8x+4y=33
6x+4y=26
2x=7
x=3.5
Then we change x for 3.5 in the first equation:
3×3.5+2y=13
10.5+2y=13
2y=2.5
y=1.25
Hope this helps!
X both sides by 11
=6x+2=-22
-2 from both sides
=6x=-24
both sides /6
=x=-3
