you can put this solution on your website!

let the right-handed glove be x

let the left-handed golve be y

x+y=12

y=12-x

cost of rigth haded glove = $45

left-handed cost =$52

45x+52y=561

subsitute for y

45x+52(12-x)=561

45x-52x+624=561

-7x=-63

x=9

y=12-9

y=3

hence about 9 right handed gloves were sold, and about 3 left-handed gloves were sold.

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
