We know that
<span>Joey and Rita paint a room in 8 hours
so
100%----------> 8 hours
 X%----------> 1 hour
x=100/8-----> 12.5%  
that means 
</span>Joey and Rita paint 12.5% of a room in 1 hour

Billy paint a room in 12 hours
so
100%----------> 12 hours
X %------------> 1 hour
x=100/12----> x=8.33 %
that means 
Billy paint 8.33% of a room in 1 hour

i<span>f all three work together
then
All three paint (12.5%+8.33%) in 1 hour

20.83%------------> 1 hour
100%------------> x
x=100/20.83-----> x=4.8 hours

the answer is
4.8 hours</span>

kotegsom [21]
The area is given by
 A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Substituting the value of the area we have:
 54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Rewriting:
 4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
 We look for the roots:
 x1 = -9
 x2 = 3/2
 We take the positive root:
 x2 = 3/2
 Answer:
 
the value of x is:
 
x = 3/2

I need help assssapp
tekilochka [14]

Your mistake is that 1 pound and 15 ounces <em>does not equal</em> 1.15 pounds. You also did not make everything into the same measurement (you mixed up pounds and ounces). I will make everything into the measurement of <em>ounces</em>, since the numbers do not come out clean if we do pounds.


18 pounds (original) = 288

1 pound 15 ounces = 31 ounces

3 1/8 pound = 50 ounces

4 1/2 pound = 72 ounces


So after cutting out those steaks, Mr. Rand has 288-31-50-72 = 135 ounces. Then, it states that he divides those up into 9 ounce patties:

135/9 = 15 patties


And sells them at 3 for $3.12. There are 5 3's in 15 patties, so it is 5 * $3.12 = Mr Rand receives $15.60 for the patties.

What is 1800 in its corresponding exponential form
pav-90 [236]

The formula for exponential form is:

e^x = y

Where, y in this case is 1800, e is exponential, and we are to find e^x.

e^x = 1800

To find for x, we have to multiply both sides with the natural log, ln.

ln (e^x) = ln (1800)

x ln e = ln (1800)

<span>ln e = 1 and by using the calculator,</span>

x = 7.496 = 7.5

<span>Therefore the exponential form of 1800 is e^7.5</span>

<span>ANSWER: </span>e^{7.5}
