Jon, Denny, and Ashley are taking turns washing cars at a basketball team fundraiser. Together they work for 54 minutes. Jon worked for 15 minutes. Ashley worked twice as long as Denny. How long did Ashley work for? I have taken 54 and subtracted 15 that Jon worked. It left 39 minutes I'm not sure how to finish the rest of this problem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x be the time Denny worked
\n" ); document.write( "let 2x be the time Ashley worked\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15 + x + 2x = 54
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 39
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore Denny worked 13 minutes and Ashley worked 26 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "39 minutes = Denny's time + Ashley's time (2 times of Denny's)
\n" ); document.write( "Denny = 1/3 of the 39 minutes = 13 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Asley = 2/3 of the 39 minutes or 13 minutes*2 = 26 minutes \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
