Answer:
Judy = $5/hr
Ben = $4/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Judy's hours at work - x
Ben's hours at work - y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Given these two equations above, we get:
10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.
Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:
9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65
9x + 40 - 4x = 65
5x = 25
x = 5
Come back to the first equation, substitute x:
8*5 + 10y = 80
10y = 80 - 40
y = 4

Answer:
Hey!
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer would be 1/8
Have a nice day!♥
And ty XD
Obviously this will be a negative number
-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x
-16 = 2x
x = %28-16%29%2F2
x = -8 is the number

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8
3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14
-24 - 2 = -40 + 14
-26 = -26
Answer:
a) 15/8 b) 25/18
Step-by-step explanation:
a) First bring all the fractions to a common denominator (I'm going to use 8th's). 5/8 is already simplified, 1/2=4/8, and 3/4=6/8. Then, simply add the numerators and leave the denominator:
Since this can not be simplified any further, your final answer is 15/8.
b) Start by bringing all the fractions to a common denominator (for this problem, we'll use 18th's). 2/3=12/18, 1/6=3/18, and 5/9=10/18. Then just add all the numerators and leave the denominator the same:
Since this cannot be simplified further either, your final answer is 25/18.
Hope this helps! :)
