To solve this problem, we have to use the definition of segment addition.

$LA=PL+PA$

Then, we replace the given expressions

$30x-18=6x+24+12x-6$

Now, we solve for <em>x</em>.

$\begin{gathered} 30x-6x-12x=24-6+18 \\ 12x=36 \\ x=\frac{36}{12} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$ <h2>Hence, x = 3.</h2>

Let's find LA:

$30x-18=30\cdot3-18=90-18=72$ <h2>Hence, LA measures 72 units.</h2>

Sally can paint the wall in 54 minutes. If Sally and Ethan work together, they can paint the wall in 36 minutes. How much time d

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$108\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we know that

Sally can paint the wall in 54 minutes

The 100% of the wall ------> she can paint in 54 minutes

by proportion

calculate how much is the percent of the work in 36 minutes

$\frac{100\%}{54} =\frac{x\%}{36}\\ \\x=36*100/54\\ \\x=66.67\%$

That means

Sally in 36 minutes can paint the 66.67% of the wall

2) Sally and Ethan work together, they can paint the wall in 36 minutes

Ethan in 36 minutes can paint (100%-66.67%)=33.33%

by proportion

Calculate how much time does it take for Ethan to paint the wall by herself

$\frac{33.33\%}{36} =\frac{100\%}{x}\\ \\x=36*100/33.33\\ \\x=108\ minutes$

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)\\\\\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(k+h)(2)=h(2)+k(2)\\\\\text{Calculate}\ h(2)\ \text{and}\ k(2).\\\text{Put}\ x=2\ \text{to the equations of the functions}\\\\h(2)=2^2+1=4+1=5\\k(2)=2-2=0\\\\\text\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(h+k)(2)=5+0=5$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)=(x^2+1)+(x-2)=x^2+x-1\\\\(h+k)(2)-\text{put}\ x=2\\\\(h+k)(2)=2^2+2-1=4+2-1=6-1=5$
