Answer:
Eric's father work 5 hours each afternoon
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no. of hours Eric's father work each afternoon
He works for hours in morning each day = 3
He works for total hours in morning in 5 days=
He works for total hours in afternoon in 5 days=5x
We are given that he works a total of 40 hours each 5-day workweek.
ATQ
15+5x=40
5x=25
x=5
Hence Eric's father work 5 hours each afternoon
We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
So .27 means .27/1 or 2.7/10 or 27/100 or 270/1000 and so on
Answer:
x = 59/35
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Distribute</u>
1/8 - 10(3/4 - 3/8x) + 5/8x
1/8 - 30/4 + 30/8x + 5/8x
<u>Step 2: Combine like terms</u>
1/8 - 30*2/4*2 - 30/8x + 5/8x
1/8 - 60/8 + 35/8x
-59/8 + 35/8x
<u>Step 3: Solve for x</u>
-59/8 + 35/8x + 59/8 = 0 + 59/8
35/8x * 8/35 = 59/8 * 8/35
x = 59/35
Answer: x = 59/35
