Theo and Kade worked on a school project together. Theo worked on the project 3 fewer hours than Kade did. Altogether, they worked for atotal of 27 hours. How many hours did they each work on the school project?
Accepted Solution
A:
Let the hours Kade worked = X Theo would be X - 3 ( 3 less than Kade).Now you have:X Β + X -3 = 27Combine like terms:2x - 3 = 27Add 3 to each side:2x = 30Divide both sides by 2:x = 15 Kade worked 15 hours.Theo worked 12 hours.
