Question 924131: Joseph Murray built a horse for display at a baseball stadium. It took him
1.3
hours more than twice the number of hours to attach the baseball gloves to the horse than to build the horse. If the total time it took him to build the horse and attach the gloves was
35.8
hours, how long did it take to attach the gloves?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t time to build the horse
t + (2t +1.3) = 35.8hr
3t = 34.5
t = 11.5hr, time to build the horse. Attach Gloves: 24.3hr 2%2A11.5+%2B+1.3
And...checking
sum = 35.8hr
