Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the speed would be given by the garbage collection / hour, therefore the two together, that is to say from the sum of both, would be 1/6 the speed and for the small truck it would be 1/24

So to calculate the speed of the big truck it would be:

1/24 + 1 / x = 1/6

1 / x = 1/6 - 1/24

1 / x = 0.125

x = 1 / 0.125

x = 8

Which means that only the big truck would take only 8 hours

rosijanka [135]
Substitute with the value of n in the equation to get m as follows:
at n=1:
2m=-6(1)-5=-6-5=-11
m = -11/2
at n=2:
2m=-6(2)-5=-12-5=-17
m = -17/2
at n=3:
2m=-6(3)-5=-18-5=-23
m = -23/2

Answer:

-2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

-3.7 = -1.3(1) + x

-3.7 = -1.3 + x

x - 1.3 = -3.7

x = -3.7 + 1.3

x = -2.4
