Answer:
its A
Step-by-step explanation:
3 less: -3
difference of 16p and 15p: 16p - 15p = p
is equal to: =
the difference of 3 and 1/2: 3 - 1/2 = 2.5
p - 3 = 2.5
Isolate the p. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 3 to both sides
p - 3 (+3) = 2.5 (+3)
p = 2.5 + 3
p = 5.5
5.5 is your answer for p

<span>F for Frank, A or Alice.
F(initial)=1.95 inches
A(initial)=1.50 inches
Frank's equation at .25 inches per year and t representing year variable.
F=1.95+.25t
Alice's equation at .40 inches per year and t representing year variable.
A=1.5+.40t
To figure out how old they will be when their beaks are the same lengths set the equations equal to eachother as the equations are length.
1.95+.25t=1.5+.40t
.45=.15t
t=3 years</span>
Answer:
Washing cars= 4 hours
Walking dogs= 10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to start by creating equations. So one thing we know is that he makes $9 an hour washing cars(x) and $8 walking dogs(y).
$9x+$8y=$116
The second Equation is based off of the hours worked. We know that he worked 6 hours more walking the dogs than he did washing cars, so we can take x(being the washing hours) and add 6 to it to equal y (the number of dog hours).
y=x+6
Now You plug what y equals into the first equation to solve for x.
9x+8(x+6)=116 Next distribute the 8 to each term.
9x+8(x)+8(6)=116
9x+8x+48=116 Add the like terms together (9x+8x)
17x+48=116 Subtract the 48 from both sides
-48 -48
17x=68 Now divide by 17 on both sides.
______
17 17
x=4 Finally we can take x and plug it back in to one of the equations in order to solve for y. I'm going to choose the second equation.
y=(4)+6
y=10
