Mathematics
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<h2>x = -8 or x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}

Paul can install a 300 hundred square foot hardwood floor in 18 hours. Matt can install the same floor in 22 hours. How long wou
Vadim26 [7]
ANSWER

Paul and Matt will take
9.9 \: \: hours
to install the floor working together.

EXPLANATION

First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

= \frac{1}{18}

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
= \frac{1}{22}

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
x \: hours
to do the work together.

Then, the rate of working together is,

= \frac{1}{x}

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}

Simplify the left hand side

\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}

We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}

x = 9.9 \: hours
