For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)

The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).

(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3

___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

Oduvanchick [21]

constant term in any function is the term whose value does not change on variation of other parameters or in other case. We can also say constant term is independent of variable parameters.

take example

y = x + 3

here 3 is constant term which will not change either I change x or y . 3 is independent . it's just helps equation to hold information that overall in equation its matter.

so in given problem -4 is the constant

Question 5 is attached! 10+5 pts ~!
Deffense [45]
17k - 6k- 5k - 2k - k = 15

17k - 6k is 11k.

so, 11k - 5k - 2k - k =15
11k-5k is 6k

so 6k - 2k - k
6k - 2k is 4k

so 4k - k
4k - k is 3k

so 3k = 15
Take 3 to the other side --   k= 15/3
final answer is k = 5
