Answer:
k = 324
Step-by-step explanation:
Y varies inversely as x
Let k be the constant of variation
Y = k/ x
Y= 36 and x= 9
Substitute the value of Y and x
36 = k/9
Make k the subject of the formula
k= 36*9
k =324
I just did this my bad bro
Hi there! The answer is x = 1


Rule AB = 0, gives A = 0 or B = 0

Therefore, the smallest of both roots is x = 1.
Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The old machine could shred a truckload of paper in 4 hours.
Rate of work done by old machine = 
The new machine could shred the same truckload in 2 hours.
Rate of work done by new machine = 
Let 't' be the time taken by both of them working together , then we have the following equation:-

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes
Then, 
Hence, it will take 1 hour 20 minutes to shred the same truckload of paper if Ron runs both shredders at the same time.
