Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.
If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is
and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:
and doing that gives us
5x + 3x = 15 and
8x = 15 so
x = 1.875 hours which is 1 7/8 hours which is also 1 hour and 52 1/2 minutes.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)
You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:
length = 4 + 2w
Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:
26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w
First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...
26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with the same variables (w) must be combined...
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
4w + 2w = 6w
26 = 8 + 6w
Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w
18 = 0 + 6w
18 = 6w
To isolate w divide 6 to both sides
18 / 6 = 6w / 6
w = 3
We know that the width is 3 ft
Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:
length = 4 + 2w
l = 4 + 2(3)
l = 4 + 6
l = 10
We know that length is 10 ft
Letter B. is the correct answer

After 1 year=x1.1
After 2 years=x1.1*1.1
………
After 5 years=x1.1*1.1*1.1*1.1*1.1=x1.61051
Answer:
The answer is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute b for -3 and y for 5 so 3*5=15
You then subtract -3 from 15 so a negative minus a negative is a positive so the equation would be 3*5=15--3= 3*5=15+3=18
