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).

Hoped I helped!

A cylinder with a height of 12 cm is inscribed in a sphere with a radius of 10 cm. Find the lateral area of the cylinder. Answer
zalisa [80]

Answer:

256π

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The height of the cylinder: 12 cm

The radius of the sphere : 10

Let r is the radius of the cylinder, use Pytagon

10² = r² + 6²

<=> r²  = 10² - 6²  = 64

<=> r = 8

Hence,  the lateral area of the cylinder

L= 2πrh

= 2π8*16

= 256π

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Son of 15 years $180

Son of 10 years $120

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 10 = 25

   25          300

   15              x = 300*15/25

                    x = 180

   25          300

   10              x = 300*10/25

                    x = 120

Son of 15 years $180

Son of 10 years $120
