John can complete a paper route in 20 minutes.

John's 1 minute work = 1/20 , so rate =1/20 job/minute

Steve can complete the same route in 30 minutes

Steve's 1 minute work =1/30, so rate =1/30 job/minute

Together DATA:

Time = y min/job ; Rate = 1/y job/min

rate + rate = together rate

1/20 + 1/30 = 1/y

(30+20)/600 = 1/y

50/600

5/60 = 1/y

y = 60/5 = 12 minutes (time for this to do the job together)

The Length of a rectangle exceeds its breadth by 9 cm. if length and breadth are each increased by 3 cm, the area of new rectang
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Breadth = 8 cm

Length = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle:

Breadth = x cm

Length = x + 9 cm

Area = length * breadth

        = x * (x + 9)

       = x² + 9x

Rectangle with length and breadth increased:

Breadth = x + 3 cm

Length = x + 9 + 3 = x + 12 cm

Area = 84 + (x² + 9x) cm²

(x +3) * (x +12) = 84 + x² +  9x

Use FOIL method

x*x  + x*12 + 3*x + 3*12 = 84 + x² + 9x

      x² + 12x + 3x + 36  = 84 + x² + 9x  {add the like terms}

             x² + 15x  + 36  = 84 + x² + 9x

x² + 15x + 36 - 84 - x² - 9x = 0

      6x - 48 = 0

             6x = 48

             x = 48/6

        x = 8

Breadth = x = 8 cm

Length = x + 9 = 8 +9 = 17 cm
