Answer:

9 people is 9/4 = 2.25 times more people than 4 people. So, they can do it faster. 3 hours/2.25 = 1.33 hours 1.33 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 80 minutes

Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's figure out how long it would take 1 person to dig the hole and then divide that number by 9 (since they are sharing the workload).

\dfrac{1}{4}x=3\qquad \implies \qquad x = 12\quad \text{It takes 12 hours for 1 person}\\\\\\\dfrac{12\ \text{(for 1 person)}}{9\ \text{(people)}}\quad =1\dfrac{1}{3}\quad =\large\boxed{1\ hour\ 20\ minutes}

Solve x2+12x=-11 by completing the square . Which is the the solution set of the equation?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

{- 11, - 1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coefficient of the x² term is 1 , to complete the square

add (half the coefficient of the x-term )² to both sides

x² + 2(6)x + 36 = - 11 + 36 ← complete the square on the left side

(x + 6)² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{(x+6)^2} = ± \sqrt{25}

x + 6 = ± 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = - 6 ± 5

x = - 6 + 5 = - 1 or x = - 6 - 5 = - 11
