Answer:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- Maitri and Aabhas do a work in 12 hours
- Aabhas and Kavya do the work in 15 hours
- Kavya and Maitri do the work in 20 hours
<u>Solving</u>
- Take Maitri, Aabhas, and Kavya to be x, y, z respectively
- <u>x + y = 12</u> (1)
- <u>y + z = 15</u> (2)
- <u>x + z = 20</u> (3)
<u>Take Equation 1 and rewrite it so that it is equal to x.</u>
<u>Take Equation 2 and rewrite it so that it is equal to z.</u>
<u>Now, substitute these values in Equation 3.</u>
- x + z = 20
- 12 - y + 15 - y = 20
- -2y + 27 = 20
- 2y = 7
- y = 7/2 = <u>3.5 hours [Aabhas]</u>
<u></u>
<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 1.</u>
- x + 3.5 = 12
- x = <u>8.5 hours [Maitri]</u>
<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 2.</u>
- 3.5 + z = 15
- z = <u>11.5 hours [Kavya]</u>
<u></u>
<u>Add the values of x, y, and z together.</u>
- x + y + z
- 8.5 + 3.5 + 11.5
- 12 + 11.5
- <u>23.5 hours [together]</u>
Answer:
subtract 7 from both sides
2x < 7- 7
subtract 7 from 7 to get 0
2x < 0
product of two numbers is < 0 if one is > 0 and the other is < 0. since 2> 0, must be < 0.
x < 0
Answer:
because x is the middle integer of three consecutive integers
=> The remaining 2 numbers respectively are x - 1 and x + 1
=> the sum of these three integers is
x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 3x
