Melinda and Paula shovel driveways and sidewalks in the winter as a way to earn extra money. Together they shoveled 450 square feet of sidewalk in 30 minutes. Then Melinda shoveled for 20 minutes while Paula shoveled for 25 minutes to complete 345 square feet of driveway. 30x + 30y = 450 20x + 25y = 345 How much more can Paula shovel in 1 minute than Melinda?

3 more square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = The amount Melinda can shovel in 1 minute

y = The amount Paula can shovel in 1 minute

So make two equations:

30(x + y) = 450       x + y = 15       x = 15 - y

20x + 25y = 345     4x + 5y = 69

Plug in:

4(15 - y) + 5y = 69

60 - 4y + 5y = 69

y = 9

x = 6

9 - 6 = 3

Answer is A

s + (a + 178) = 2000

step-by-step explanation:

2000 - 178 = 1822

1822 / 2 = 911

911 + 178 = 1089

1089 + 911 = 2000

abha = 1089

shane = 911
