<h3>Answer with Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let Jane worked for x hours

John worked five less than twice as many hours as Jane

i.e. John worked for 2x-5

Together they worked 97 hours

i.e. x + 2x -5 =97

i.e. 3x -5 =97

i.e. 3x = 102

i.e. x= 34

and 2x - 5= 2×34-5

                = 63

Hence, Jane worked for 34 hours

and John worked for 63 hours

vitfil [10]

Answer:

1.67miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the penguin = Distance/Time taken

Given

Distance = 1/3 mile

Time = 1/5 hour

Substitute the given data into the speed formula;

Speed = (1/3)/(1/5)

Speed = 1/3 * 5/1

Speed = 5/3

Speed = 1.67miles/hour

Hence the penguin speed in mi/hr is 1.67mi/hr

Simplify the rational expression:<br> x^2+13x+42/x^2+15x+56
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

x+6/x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, factor out each of the expressions. You will use the AM method, where the last term is the factors multiplied together, and the middle term is the two added together. For the top, you would get (x+7) and (x+6) as your factors, and for the bottom you'd get (x+7) and (x+8). Based off of that, you can simplify your answer. The two (x+7)'s can cancel out, leaving you with a (x+6) over (x+8) as your answer.
