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).

A pie was cut into two equal pieces. Each of the pieces of pie was cut into halves again, and each of those smaller pieces was c
Verdich [7]

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you cut a whole pie into two you get two (2) ½ pieces

1 ÷ 2 = ½

When you cut the two ½ pieces into two you get four (4) ¼ pieces;

½ ÷ 2 = ¼

When you cut the four ¼ pieces into two you get 8 1/8 pieces;

¼ ÷ 2 = ¹/8

Therefore the whole pie at this point is made up of 8 ¹/8 pieces. When two (2) of these pieces are eaten we are left with 6 ¹/8 pieces;

8 – 2 = 6

The portion of the pie left therefore is;

6 * ¹/8 pieces

= ⁶/8

= ³/4
