Answer:

D 4.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the area of room be A

Irina painting speed be x, 8x = A

Paulo painting speed be y, 9y = A

Together painting speed = x + y = A/8 + A/9

Assume together painting time = t

(A/8 + A/9) t = A

(1/8 + 1/9)t = 1

17t = 72

t = 4.24

-3-8X≥9

Add 3 on both sides.

-8X≥12

Divide by negative 8 and flip the sign.

X≤-1.5

There isn't a number behind five, so I would just keep as is.

I hope this helps!
