Edwin is helping his dad in running a restaurant. He has a pile of 44 potatoes to peel. He is able to peel 3 potatoes per minute. After 4 minutes Jessica joints into peel at a rate of 5 potatoes per minute.

When they were finished how many potatoes did Jessica peel?

20 potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

- First find how many potatoes Edwin can peel by himself starting off.

To do this take 3 x 4 = 12

- Next, find how many Jessica can do. For this we will guess and check. We will try 4 also.

To do this take 4 x 5 = 20

- Now that we have 32 potatoes peeled, all we have to do is add another 4 minutes to Edwin to even the times out between him Jessica.

To do this take 3 x 4 = 12

- Now lets check our work...

12+20+12 = 44  (our answer is correct for potatoes, as one can see the 20 was Jessica)

- Hope this helps! If you need a further explanation please let me know.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
