Person A takes 2.3 days to paint the house working alone

Person B takes 13.8 days to paint the house working alone

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of days it takes person A  to paint the house

Person A can paint the neighbor's house 6 times as fast as Person B

Therefore.

Number of days it takes person B to paint the house = 6x

Their rates of painting are added to get  the rate working together

\frac{\text{1 house}}{\text{x days}} + \frac{\text{1 house}}{\text{6x days}} = \frac{\text{1 house}}{\text{2 days}}

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{6x} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{1 \times 6}{6x} + \frac{1}{6x} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{7}{6x} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\\ x = \frac{7}{3}= 2.3

Thus person A takes 2.3 days to paint the house working alone

Person B = 2x = 6(2.3) = 13.8

Thus person B takes 13.8 days to paint the house working alone

Question 40 and it about adding and subtracting polynomials
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

39x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is all the sides added together so

9x + 8x - 2 + 5x + 1 + 17x - 6

Since you can't solve it you just want to simplify the equation, add the like terms together

9x+8x+5x+17x = 39x

-2+1-6 = -7

Your equation is 39x-7

Use the figure to find the measure of angle 2.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

∠ 2 = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

110° and ∠ 1 are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

∠ 1 = 110°

∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are adjacent angles and are supplementary, thus

∠ 2 = 180° - ∠ 1 = 180° - 110° = 70°
