Answer:

a and d

Step-by-step explanation:

The crate can carry any amount up to a pound. Since both b and c are over 1, they can immediately be eliminated. Since both a and d are lower than 1 they can be the answers. if the question tells you to pick all possible answers, pick both a and d but if it says pick one answer, pick a since it is the closest to one pound.

we are given

Jim can lay bricks for a fireplace and chimney in 5 days

Jim's 1 day work is

$=\frac{1}{5}$

we are given

With his father's help he can build it in 2 days

so, both can do same work in 2 days

so, both's 1 day work is

$=\frac{1}{2}$

Let's assume

his father to build it alone in x days

his father 1 day work is

$=\frac{1}{x}$

so, both's 1 days work is

$=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5}$

so, we can set it to 1/2

we get

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5}$

now, we can solve for x

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5*1}{5*x}+\frac{1*x}{5*x}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5+x}{5x}$

now, we can cross multiply

$5x=2(5+x)$

$5x=10+2x$

$3x=10$

now, we can solve for x

$x=\frac{10}{3}$

so,

his father to build it alone is

$=\frac{10}{3}days$ ............Answer

what is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (3, 7) and is perpendicular to 3x-5x=8

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$5x + 3y = 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to rewrite 3x-5y=8 in slope-intercept form.

$y = \frac{3}{5} x - \frac{8}{5}$

The slope of this line is

$\frac{3}{5}$

The line perpendicular to this line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 3/5, which is

$m = - \frac{5}{3}$

This line passes through (3,7).

The equation is given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We substitute the point and slope to get:

$y - 7 = - \frac{5}{3} (x - 3)$

We multiply through by 3 to get:

$3y - 21 = - 5(x - 3)$

Expand to obtain:

$3y - 21 = - 5x + 15$

$3y + 5x = 15 + 21$

$5x + 3y = 36$

How to solve the quadratic equation by factoring x^{2}+4x+3=0

Trava [24]

$x^2+4x+3=0 \\\\ x^2+x+3x+3=0 \\\\ x(x+1)+3(x+1)=0 \\\\ (x+1)(x+3)=0 \\\\\\ x+1=0 \ \ \Longrightarrow \boxed{x=-1} \\\\ x+3=0 \ \ \Longrightarrow \boxed{x=-3}$
