Question

Model the total number of hours that Patricia and Sun work together. Draw the result below. Then write an expression for the drawing?

Answer 1

A)

Given that Hugo works 'x' hours each week,

$T_{H_{}}=x$

Patricia works 3 more than twice the working time of Hugo,

$\begin{gathered} T_P=3+2(T_H) \\ T_P=3+2(x) \\ T_P=2x+3 \end{gathered}$

Sun works 2 hours less than Hugo,

$\begin{gathered} T_S=T_H-2 \\ T_S=x-2 \end{gathered}$
