Answer:
4.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
So, let's write a function p(x) which represents the total cost.
Let's let x represent the amount of hours.
The cost of a piece is a constant 10.
And there is a $8 fee per hour. In other words:

We spent a total of $46.
So, substitute in 46 for p(x) and solve for x:

Subtract 10 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 8:

Reduce:

So, we spent about 4.5 hours.
20r + 60t
The greatest common factor we can factor from both of these terms is 20.
20(r + 3t). This is the final answer.
Answer:
LP = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
LM = LP ( isosceles triangle sides will be equal )
10x - 5 = 7x + 1
Transpose to find the value of x
10x -7x = 1 + 5
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2
now put 2 instead of x
10x - 5
10 (2) - 5
20 - 5
15
LP = 15
Let's say the length is L, and the width is W
L is one foot more than 2W, so L=1+2W
the area of the rectangle: A=L*W=300
replace L with 1+2W: (1+2W)*W=300 =>2W^2+W-300=0
solve the quadratic equation: (W-12)(2W+25)=0
W=12 or W=-12.5 (impossible)
so the width is 12, and the length is L=1+2*12=25
