I believe the correct answer to your question would be choice B. The trail is no more than 6 miles long.
Answer:
The two equations are
y = x - 3 and
3y = x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The options are not well stated. I'll answer the question without the options but however, my answer will be a reflection of one of the given options.
Given:
2 statements
Required
Write equivalent of both statements as equations
Let the large number be represented by x.
From the first statement (y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3)
Difference means minus (-); so, this statement is represented as follows to give us the first equation:
y = x - 3
From the second statement (The same number is one-third of the sum of the larger number and 9).
This is also represented as follows to give us the second equation
y = ⅓(x + 9)
Multiply both sides by 3
3 * y = 3 * ⅓(x + 9)
3y = x + 9
So, the two equations are
y = x - 3 and
3y = x + 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of hours worked by Joshua.
Shirts ironed by Joshua in an hour = 25
Number of shirts ironed by Joshua in x hours = 25x
The number of hours worked by Luke = (x + 3)hours
Shirts ironed by Luke in an hour = 35
No. of shirts ironed by Luke in x hours = 35*(x + 3) = 35x+35*3 = 35x + 105
No. of shirts ironed by Luke and Joshua = 345
25x + 35x +105 = 345
60x = 345 - 105
60x = 240
x = 240/60
x = 4 hours
The number of hours worked by Joshua = 4 hours
The number of hours worked by Luke = 4 +3 = 7 hours
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
5a+4=9a+3-4a
5a-9a+4a=3-4
a=-1
