Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Steve works:
- 60 hour per week = 12 hours per day (60/5)
- first job: 3 hours per day = 15 hours per week
- x = second job hours per day
equitation:
1st option to calculate:
12 (total hours per day) = 3 (hours per day on first job) + X
9 = X
2nd option to calculate:
60(total hours per week) = 15 (3 hours per day x 5) + x
45 = x
you need to divide 45 / 5 to get the daily hours which is 9
Let x,y be two different numbers
suppose x^2=y^2
then x^2-y^2=0
which yields (x+y)(x-y)=0
so either x=y or x=-y
In any case, x and y must be the same value
also when a vairable is squared like y=x^2
we must note that there are 2 possible solutions
x=(+/-)sqrt(y)
Yes! If there one one negative and one positive then the answer would've been negative!
