Hello! Your answer is B, 10 minutes.
Say the x = minutes taken to do the job. You can set up an equation like this to solve this.
This is representative of the situation. The fractions each represent <u>how much each person does in a minute</u>, and when they're multiplied by x, that's <u>how much of the project they get done</u> based off of the minutes they work together on the job. Add the two together, and you get <u>how much of the project is finished in x amount of time</u>. Set it equal to 1, as you are looking for 100% completion.
Once you have this equation, find a common denominator, add, and solve.
Therefore, it will take them 10 minutes to do the job together.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
500+40+3+.2+.08= 543.28
Step-by-step explanation:
How to solve:
-
Write all numerators above the least common denominator which is 24 in this case.
Subtract the numbers
Alternate form: 0.458333
The final, simplified, fraction answer is:
Besides just using the math in everyday life, it is also used in newspapers.
Answer:
x^3 - 3x^2 - 3x + 9 + (-36/(x+3))
OR
x^3 - 3x^2 - 3x + 9 - (36/(x+3))
Step-by-step explanation:
First set the divisor equal to 0:
x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides
x = -3
This is what you'll divide the dividend by in synthetic division.
Take the coefficents of each term in the dividend. Do not forget the 0 placeholders:
x^4 + 0x^3 - 12x^2 + 0x -9
Coefficents: 1. 0. -12. 0 -9.
Please see the image for the next steps.
The remainder is -36. Put the remainder over the divisor and add it to the polynomial (shown in image)
-36/(x+3)
