I think the answer is 4.5 hours. Equation:  y = 2x + 16.5. 

Where y represents the total area painted by each person and x represents the time.

There's multiple ways to solve systems of equations, but one method is well suited to this particular problem.

Subtract one entire equation from the other, as in: y = 2x + 16.5 - y = 4x + 7.5 ---------------------- 0 = -2x + 9

Then solve for x, using basic algebra: 2x = 9 x = 9 / 2 x = 4.5

To check your answer, you can plug the x value into both equations: 2 (4.5) + 16.5 = 25.5 4 (4.5) + 7.5 = 25.5 This proves that, at 4.5 hours later, both Naomi and Claire will have painted 25.5 square feet each.

You could also check the answer by graphing both equations and finding the point where the line meets. You will see that the intersection point is (4.5, 25.5).

The perimeter of a rectangular
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a rectangle, we know for sure that perimeter = double the width and double the height. Algebraically, that looks like:

P = 2W + 2H

Let's sub in the given values, P and W:

18 = 2(4) + 2H

Now, let's solve for the height, H:

18 = 8 + 2H

10 = 2H

10/2 = H

<u>5 = H</u>

I hope this helps!

This is one of those questions where there's a list of choices that goes along with it,
but you're not sharing the list.

The product of (2x + 5) and (x - 3) is (2x² - x - 15) . That may be useful.
