Last week, Laura volunteered at the community clean-up event and earned 2 patches for her scout uniform. She spent 4 minutes sewing the patches onto her uniform. This week, Laura spent the week at the scout camp and earned another 6 patches. If Laura sews at the same rate, how many minutes will she spend sewing her new patches onto her uniform?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say number of patches is x, and amount of time is y. the time per patch is k.

k * x = y

2 * k = 4

k = 2

2 * x = y

2 * 6 = 12

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
