Best Answer: Bill's time to do the whole job, B
Jeff's time, B + 5
time they actually work, 6.
6/B + 6/(B+5) = 1
6(B+5) + 6B = B(B+5)
6B + 30 + 6B = B² + 5B
B² - 7B - 30 = 0
(B - 10)(B + 3) = 0
B = 10 or B = -3, and we reject the negative solution.
the equation is based on adding the fractions of the whole job each does. if Bill takes B hours to do the whole thing and works 6, he does 6/B of the job. similarly for Jeff.
in the 2nd problem,
a = time of experienced accountant
2a = time of new accountant
10 = time each actually works
10/a + 10/(2a) = 1 ........ multiply all by a
10 + 5 = a
a = 15 hr.
Answer:
31 i think
155.3 divided by 5 is equal to 31
You must have an illustration to give an idea what x represents. If not, then we can never find a way to answer this for you. However, for educational purposes, let me just suppose a figure for us to solve. The diagram is shown in the attached picture.
The rectangle has dimensions of 6 + x by x units, where x is the width and (6+x) is the length. If you are given the perimeter of the rectangle, then the working equation to be used is shown below.
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
Generally, perimeter is the sum of all sides of the figure. Since rectangle is defined to be made up of two sets of equal parallel sides called length and width, the perimeter is simplified to be that way. Substituting the values,
96 inches = 2(6+x) + 2x
96 = 12 + 2x + 2x
96 = 12 + 4x
4x = 96 - 12
4x = 84
x = 84/4
x = 21 inches
Answer:
arc AE = 125 deg
Step-by-step explanation:
As the property of angle at the center O of a circle:
angle AOE = arc AE
=> arc AE = 125 deg
Hope this helps!
It is -p... think about it.... two negative signs equal a positive sign, if there are an odd number of negative sign's the real answer is -p, and if there is an even amount, it means it is positive p. In your situation, there are 5 negative signs, so since 5 is an odd number, the p has to be negative.
