Joe's Painting: 20x + 100 = y
Steve's Painting: 15x + 120 = y
x = hours worked
y = total income
We can find when the two equations intersect by making them equal to each other. That means we put an equal sign in the middle. So, it would look something like this:
20x + 100 = 15x + 120
First, we have to move the 100 by subtracting it from both sides.
20x = 15x + 120 - (100)
20x = 15x + 20
Then, we need to move the 15x by subtracting it from both sides.
20 - (15x) = 20
5x = 20
Lastly, we need to divide 5 from both sides.
5x = 20/5
x = 4
Therefore, Joe and Steve would have to work for 4 hours in order for their models to be equal to each other.
Answer:
48 cm²
Explanation:
Let the breadth be b, then the length is 3b
P = 2(Length + Breadth)
32 = 2(3b + b)
32 = 2(4b)
8b = 32
b = 4
Breadth is 4 cm
Length: 3b = 3(4) = 12 cm
Area of rectangle:
Length × Breadth
12 × 4
48 cm²
Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the variable 't' for time, you can set up an equation to find out how long it will take the truck to catch up to the bus. Since the bus is traveling at 60mph and the truck is traveling 1 2/3 times faster, we need to first find the rate of the truck:
1
Using 't' and the knowledge that they will have traveled the same distance we the truck catches up to the bus and the fact that the truck left 3 hours later:
60t = 100(t - 3) or 60t = 100t - 300
Solve for 't': 60t - 100t = -300 or -40t = -300 so, t = 7.5 hours
