To collect data on the signal strengths in a neighborhood, Tracy must drive from house to house and take readings. She has a gra

duate student, Dave, to assist her. Tracy figures it would take her 8 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Dave 12 hours if he completed the task by himself.

Tracy and Dave  together complete the task in \frac{24}{5} hours

Given Tracy alone  take 8 hours to complete work and dave alone take 12 hours to complete the work.

Let's say together they worked in x hours

⇒in 1 hour they worked  \frac{1}{x}th part of the work

Tracy herself worked 8 hours to complete the whole task

⇒ in 1 hour Tracy completes \frac{1}{8}th part of the task

Dave himself worked 8 hours to complete the whole task

⇒ in 1 hour Dave completes \frac{1}{12}th part of the task

By proportions

⇒\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{x} { using operation addition}

⇒ x=  \frac{24}{5}  

Therefore,Tracy and Dave  together complete the task in \frac{24}{5} hours

timmy writes the equation f(x) = x – 1. He then doubles both of the terms on the right side to create the equation g(x) = x – 2.
EleoNora [17]
<span>First, g(x) = 2x - 2, because when you double both of the terms of x - 1, you have to multiply each of the terms by two, i.e x * 2 = 2x and (-1) * 2 = - 2, so the result is 2x - 2. Comparing the graphs, you have that g(x) 's slope is 2, whils f(x) 's slope is 1, so that means that g(x) is more inclined or, what is the same, grows faster than f(x). Also, you can compare the y-intercepts, given that the y-intercept is the constant terms. So, the y-intercept of g(x) is -2, while the y-intercept of f(x) is - 1. </span>

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle x 2 = 3 * 3

The reason I did not divide it by 2 is because of how the other triangle is bound to have the same area. Just leave it as it is because later you're going to reach the same answer.

3 * 3 = 9

Rectangle Area = 6 * 3 = 18

18 + 9 = 27
