Answer: approximately 26.66667  minutes

This converts to 26 minutes, 40 seconds

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 360 newspapers that need to be delivered.

The two brothers can get the job done in 40 minutes if they work together. Their rate is 360/40 = 9 newspapers per minute.

Richie can do the full job alone in 90 minutes. So his rate would be 360/90 = 4 newspapers per minute. In 30 minutes, he delivers 30*4 = 120 newspapers. This leaves 360 - 120 = 240 left over.

Divide this over the rate of 9 papers per minute to get 240/9 = 26.66667 approximately. It takes about 26.66667 minutes to finish up delivering the 240 remaining newspapers if the brothers work together.

The portion 0.66667 multiplies with 60 to get 0.66667*60 = 40.0002 which rounds to 40 (we have rounding error going on). This means

26.66667 minutes = 26 minutes, 40 seconds

Suppose f(x)=x^2. what is the graph of g(x)=1/3 f(x)
saw5 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2

g(x)= 1/3 f(x) = 1/3 x^2

First lets make a table for f(x)= x^2

Lets pick some numbers for x  and find out y

x           y=x^2

-3           (-3)^2 = 9

-1              1

0             0

1              1

3             9

Now we use the same x  values and make a table for g(x)

x         g(x)= \frac{1}{3} x^2

-3          g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(-3)^2=3

-1          g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(-1)^2=\frac{1}{3}

0             0

1           g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(1)^2=\frac{1}{3}

3          g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(3)^2=3

Graph the above table

What does this add up to -8g^2+(2g^2-4h)
bixtya [17]
Hi there!
The question here is -8g² + (2g² - 4h), and we are asked to find the sum of it. First, we can remove the parentheses by distributing the 'invisible' 1 next to the addition sign. This gives us -8g² + 2g² - 4h. Next, we can simplify the expression by finding like terms, which would be -8g² and 2g², as they both have the same variable to the same exponent. Therefore, our answer would be -6g² - 4h. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!

Question: what is the value of x 4x-2= (-7) +5x. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could actually explain to me step by
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

given

4x - 2 = - 7 + 5x

collect terms in x on one side of the equation and numeric values on the other side.

Subtract 4x from both sides

- 2 = - 7 + x ( add 7 to both sides )

5 = x ⇒ x = 5
