18/4ths, 27/6ths, and 36/8ths.
1/5 is the simplest form of the fraction
The answer would be x = 9.
X= assistant's wage
x+15= instructor's wage
Add their wages set equal to $65
x + (x + 15)= 65
combine like terms
2x + 15= 65
subtract 15 from both sides
2x= 50
divide both sides by 2
x= $25 assistant's wage
x+15= 25 + 15= $40 instructor's wage
ANSWER: (C) $25 hourly wage of assistant
