Formula:
Total hours ÷ hour per day
14 ÷ 3.5 = 4.
The answer is 4.
He commuted 4 days for the city.
Assuming you mean y=10x+150 and y=20x+115, you need to use a simultaneous equation, because you have two equations with two unknowns (x and y)
rearrange so
10x-y=-150
20x-y=-115
multiply the top by -1, so that if we add the two lines together, the y will cancel out
-10x+y=150
20x-y=-115
add the two lines together
10x=35
x=3.5
so the time is 3 and a half weeks
then we can sub in x to find y
20x-y=-115
20(3.5)-y=-115
70-y=-115
-y=-185
y=185
so 185 tickets were sold !
you can sub these values into your original equations to check your answer :)
Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'
We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒

Equation [2] ⇒

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought
When we have two equations in terms of two different variables;

and

, that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem.
First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either

or

the subject:


Then we substitute

into Equation [2]






Now we know the value of

which is

, substitute this value into

we have

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
Answer:
<u>Part A: Cost for the flooring is $ 4,231.50</u>
<u>Part B: Cost for the flooring is $ 5,531.50</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let's calculate the area of the living/dining room, this way:
Area = 26 * 25
Area = 650 ft²
Step 2:
Let's calculate the cost of the flooring if Nancy installs it:
Cost = $ 6.51 * Area of the living/dining room
Cost = 6.51 * 650
<u>Cost = $ 4,231.50</u>
Step 3:
Let's calculate the cost of the flooring if the flooring company installs it:
Cost = $ 8.51 * Area of the living/dining room
Cost = 8.51 * 650
<u>Cost = $ 5,531.50</u>
