Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.
To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.
I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)
Solution: Estimated time for the work is 40 hour work week.
Estimated payment to 3 laborers working 40 hours at cost $14 per hour is:
$1680
Estimated payment to 6 masons working 40 hours at cost $24 per hour is:
$5760
Estimated cost of material = $3143
Contractor wishes to make a profit of $500
Therefore, the mathematical expression that will give the estimated cost of the job is:
The estimated total cost is:
Cost =$11083
Your statemtent is incomplete.
I found the samestatment with the complete words: <span>Simplify
completely quantity x squared minus 3 x minus 54 over quantity x
squared minus 18 x plus 81 times quantity x squared plus 12 x plus </span>36 over x plus 6
Given that your goal is to learn an be able to solve any similar problem, I can teach you assuming that what I found is exactly what you need.
x^2 - 3x - 54 x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------ x ---------------------
x^2 - 18x + 81 x + 6
factor x^2 - 3x - 54 => (x - 9)(x + 6)
factor x^2 - 18x + 81 => (x - 9)^2
factor x^2 + 12x + 36 = (x + 6)^2
Now replace the polynomials with the factors=>
(x - 9) (x + 6) (x + 6)^2 (x + 6)^2 x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------------------ = --------------- = --------------------
(x - 9)^2 (x + 6) (x - 9) x - 9
