Suppose the English could drill the Channel in 6.2 years, then they drill with speed 
km per year, where L is the length of the English Channel. If the French could drill in 5.8 years, then their speed of drillling is 
km per year.
Together their speed will be
.
If they drill together, they will spend
years.
Answer: it would have taken nearly 3 years.

Answer:
7 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults
Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write
x + y = 26 → (1)
Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write
5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides
y = 26 - x → (3)
Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)
5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side
5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194
- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )
- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 9
Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y
y = 26 - 9 = 17
Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17
number of children tickets sold = 9
Answer:
3h²
Step-by-step explanation:
factor or breakdown 3h² : 3 * h * h
factor or breakdown 3h³ : 3 * h * h * h
Now, we can see that 3 * h * h is common so 3h² is the gcf.
