Reese Irwin · Answer 1

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the next functions:

J (b) = 14b + 7

W (b) = 7b + 42

where b represents the number of hamburgers cooked and J (b) and W (b) represent the amount of time each cook takes in minutes. When J (b) equals W (b) their cooking time will be equivalent, then:

14b + 7 = 7b + 42

14b - 7b = 42 - 7

7b = 35

b = 35/7

b = 5
