A construction site needs a security guard on site 56 hours each week. If there
are 4 security guards that equally share the hours, write an equation and then
solve for the number of hours each guard will need to work each week.
Total Hours
56
h = hours worked by each guard
hours

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -

step-by-step explanation:

the answer to this question depends on certain assumptions.   if the 6-pint jar starts out empty, and the 3-pint jar full, pouring the 3 pints into the 6-pint jar results in a half-full 6-pint jar.   if we refill the 3-pint jar and then pour its contents into the half-full 6-pint jar, then the 6-pint jar will be full.
