Let n be the amount of time it takes william to cut the lawn. Then Shelly takes
n-2 hours. So:
1/n+1/n-2=1/3
3(n-2)+3n=n²-2n
6n-6=n²-2n
n²-8n+6=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get a positive value of 7.1623 hrs as the amount of time william takes working alone, and 5.1623 as the amount of time Shelly takes working alone

So it’s cheaper to go with jacks dog service
Answer:
f(3)=21
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1)=3
f(n)=2f(n-1)+3
n=2
f(2)=2f(2-1)+3
f(2)=2f(1)+3
f(2)=2*3+3
f(2)=6+3
f(2)=9
n=3
f(3)=2f(3-1)+3
f(3)=2f(2)+3
f(3)=2*9+3
f(3)=18+3
f(3)=21
25% is being taken off the original price, p, of each patio chairs.
That means the price of each patio chair is the full price, p, minus <span>25% of the original price.
1) To find 25% of the original price, multiply p (original price) by the decimal form of 25%, or 0.25. That means 25% off original price = 0.25p.
2) Now subtract 0.25p from the original price of the chairs to find the price of each (1) chair. p - 0.25p
Shylah is buying 4 chairs at that discounted price. That means you need to multiply the discounted price, </span> p - 0.25p, by 4. Shylah is paying 4(p-0.25p) total for the 4 chairs, which is answer choice B.
Since you can choose more than one choice, you can simplify 4(p-0.25p) by subtracting what is in the parathesis, then multiplying, following the order of operations:
4(p-0.25p)
= 4(0.75p)
= 3p
That is answer choice A.
--------
Answer: Choices A and B, <span>3p and 4(p−0.25p).</span>
