write a word problem that can be solved using the equation 35(t-1) =20t

Question

 I have an algebra question i need help with

Answer 1

At 8 AM, a truck leaves a warehouse travelling at a speed of 20 miles per hour.  At 9 AM, another truck leaves the warehouse and travels in the same direction as the first truck with speed of 35 miles per hour.  At what time does the second truck catch up to the first truck?    

Answer 2

Michael and Gabriel have a record of a certain amount of work hours and work efficiency they reliably deliver on.

In any given week, from week to week, Mike works 35 hours at a level where more work gets done than the amount expected for his type of work responsibilities. This results in less clock hours for paid work. Whereas Gabriel has very demanding work, and a conservative estimate is every hour of paid work for his regular 20 hour work week is matched by the work time expected to compensate some one for. If a budget allows for a maximum of 2,000 total hours of pay for two laborers somewhere in a lush vineyard, how many hours must Michael and Gabriel tend to their duties to fulfill all that could be expected of them.

 

a.) What is the true amount of hours worked if payed in any arbitrary form of bartering agreement for hours worked, ( Making so many "r" per hour.)

 

b.) What is the number of hours of payed work from the employer's perspective?

 

c.) Then what is the true rate of pay per hour as long as the bartering agreement uses the same unit of exchange for trade? That is, from the employer's perspective, and Michael's perspective, and Gabriel's perspective, do they all see the same relative rate of pay in reference to each one involved here mutually or not, and how or how not do the rates differ?

 

d.)  "t" would be the base number of weeks worked for either Gabriel or Michael in this problem. But not necessarily the "real" number of work weeks measured in work volume accomplished.What is t? Summarize the answer in one or two brief paragraphs.
