Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
Answer: A
And the answer is literally on top of that question
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5/9 + 1/9
= 6/9
= 2/3 in simplest form
Step-by-step explanation:
We have xy = 28, x² + y² = 65 and x³ + y³ = 407.
Since (x + y)(x² - xy + y²) = x³ + y³,
x + y = (x³ + y³)/(x² + y² - xy)
= (407) / [(65) - (28)]
= 407 / 37
= 11.
Hence the sum of the numbers is 11.
