Answer:

<em>It takes them 1.875 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em></em>

<em>Here, the job is cleaning the house.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Mom does 1 job in 3 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, mom does 1/3 of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Dad does 1 job in 5 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, dad does 1/5 of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Mom and dad working together do the job in x hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, mom and dad together do 1/x of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>1/3 + 1/5 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>5/15 + 3/15 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>8/15 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>8x = 15</em>

<em></em>

<em>x = 15/8 = 1.875</em>

<em></em>

<em>Answer: It takes them 1.875 hours.</em>

All about simulitious equations​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

On occasions you will come across two or more unknown quantities, and two or more equations

relating them. These are called simultaneous equations and when asked to solve them you

must find values of the unknowns which satisfy all the given equations at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The solution of a pair of simultaneous equations

The solution of the pair of simultaneous equations

3x + 2y = 36, and 5x + 4y = 64

is x = 8 and y = 6. This is easily verified by substituting these values into the left-hand sides

to obtain the values on the right. So x = 8, y = 6 satisfy the simultaneous equations.

2. Solving a pair of simultaneous equations

There are many ways of solving simultaneous equations. Perhaps the simplest way is elimination. This is a process which involves removing or eliminating one of the unknowns to leave a

single equation which involves the other unknown. The method is best illustrated by example.

Example

Solve the simultaneous equations 3x + 2y = 36 (1)

5x + 4y = 64 (2) .

Solution

Notice that if we multiply both sides of the first equation by 2 we obtain an equivalent equation

6x + 4y = 72 (3)

Now, if equation (2) is subtracted from equation (3) the terms involving y will be eliminated:

6x + 4y = 72 − (3)

5x + 4y = 64 (2)

x + 0y = 8

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

<1 = 33 degrees

<2 = 33 degrees

<3 = 114 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

<1 and <2 = x

<3 = 3x+15

<1 + <2 + <3 = 180 degree

x + x + 3x + 15 = 180

5x = 180 - 15

x = 165/5

x = 33

<3 = 3(33)+15

= 114 degrees

The angles with measures x and 4x are complementa angles.which is the value of x
pochemuha

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=18^o}

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are Complementary when they add up to 90°.

Therefore

x+4x=90\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\5x=90\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{90}{5}\\\\\boxed{x=18}
