Answer:
7/10 < 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
7/10 = 14/20
3/4 = 15/20
7/10 < 3/4
Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?
Answer
If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building
1
7
of the fence every hour.
Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be
x
hours so that Frank takes
2
x
hours. Sandy can build
1
x
of the fence every hour and Frank can build
1
2
x
of the fence every hour.
We now have the following equation to solve.
1
x
+
1
2
x
=
1
7

2
x
=

21

x
x
=
21
2
=
10.50
Thus, Sandy takes
10.50
hours and Frank takes
21
hours.
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
If i understood the question right, you're trying to find the value when h = -2. If that's true so here is how it's done:
Answer:
-11xy
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting a negative means adding.
-14xy - (-3xy) = -14xy + 3xy = -11xy
