<h3>
Answer: (m+n)/(mn)</h3>
Work Shown:
Josh:
1 room = m hours
1/m room = 1 hour
Kevin:
1 room = n hours
1/n room = 1 hour
We see that the rates for Josh and Kevin are 1/m and 1/n respectively. This is the amount of a room they paint in one hour. Combine the fractions
1/m + 1/n = n/(mn) + m/(mn) = (n+m)/(mn) = (m+n)/(mn)
The expression (m+n)/(mn) represents how much of the room they get painted in 1 hour. This is if they work together and it assumes neither worker slows the other one down.
Answer:
12-24x
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 1/4; 2/4=1/2; 1/4
b. 1
c. 3/4. There are 4 blocks and 3 are not red
d. 1/4+3/4= 4/4=1
Assuming this is a system of equations, here is how to find x.
2x + 3y = 45
x + y = 10
Multiply x + y = 10 by 2 so you are able to use the elimination method.
2x + 3y = 45
2x + 2y = 20
Subtract.
y = 25
Now that we've found y, we can plug it in to find x.
x + 25 = 10
Subtract 25 from both sides.
x = -15
4x + 4y
8a + 24b
6x + 33y
63a + 54b
3ca + cb
2yx + 11yx
