Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have is a general equation that says this in words:
Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours
Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's. We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x". That makes Doug's hours "x + 40". Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:
x + x + 40 = 250 and
2x = 210 so
x = 105
Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked. Doug worked 145. As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly. 105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!

tan(C) = opposite / adjacent = 3/4
Answer:
1/x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Rewrite 3x as a difference
x-2/x^2 + 5x-2 - 10
2. Factor out x from the equation, then factor out -2.
x-2/ x+(x+5) - 2(x+5)
3. Factor out x+5 from the expression
x-2/ (x+5)(x-2)
4. Reduce the fraction with x-2
x-2 / (x+5) x-2
1/x+5
Answer:When you multiply a negative number to a positive number, your answer is a negative number. It doesn't matter which order the positive and negative numbers are in that you are multiplying, the answer is always a negative number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,
