Let us assume the number of hours after which the cost of Pam and Michelle will be same = x
Now let us concentrate on the information's already given in the problem.
Fixed charge taken by Pam = $125
Charge per hour taken by Pam = $15
Fixed charge taken by Michelle = $50
Charge per hour taken by Michelle = $20
Then
125 + 15x = 50 + 20x
20x - 15x = 125 - 50
5x = 75
x = 75/5
= 15
So after 15 hours the charge taken by Pam and Michelle will be the same. I hope the procedure for doing this type of problem is clear to you.
15=-2(2t-1) -- expand brackets
15=-4t+2 -- subtract 2
13=-4t -- switch signs, best to have a positive variable
4t=-13
t=-13/4
Answer:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
27 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem as a system of equations. X is the first number and Y is the second number.
The first equation is x+y = 50 and the second equation is x-y=4
Now we solve the system, using elimination method:
x+y=50
x-y=4
2x = 54
x = 54/2
x = 27
And from any of the equations we can find Y
27 + y = 50
y = 50 - 27
y = 23
Answer:
b = 94/79
Step-by-step explanation:
47/79 = x/2
79x = 94
x = 94/79
