Answer:

7 days and 17 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an equation to solve this. An equation could be: <u><em>½x + ½y = 12</em></u>.<u><em> x - y = 10</em></u>. Variables that solve this equation are <u><em>x=7</em></u> and <u><em>y=17</em></u>. 7 + 17 = 24÷2 (since there are 2 workers) =12. Also, ½(7) + ½17 = 3.5 + 8.5 = 12. So, we know that the faster worker will take 7 days and the slower worker will take 17 days.

Hope this helps! Plz give me brainliest, it will help me achieve my next rank.

Answer:

20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

(t+8) = time required by the other worker

So:

7.5/ t + 7.5/ (t + 8) = 1

Solve for t.

...

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

The other worker would finish the job in 20 days.

Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, or inconsistent y=2x-8 2x-y=8
morpeh [17]

An independent system has different slopes hence has a unique solution.

If two lines have the same slope then, they are inconsistent. The reason is that the two lines could have NO SOLUTION or INFINITELY MANY SOLUTION.

An inconsistent system that have infinitely many solution is said to be dependent.


Now let us make y the subject in both equations, to obtain,

y=2x-8

For the seccond equation, we have

2x-y=8

\Rightarrow -y=-2x+8

\Rightarrow y=2x-8


Wow, the two systems have the same slope and y intercept. This means the system has infinitely many solution, hence it is dependent.


<h2>The two systems are dependent</h2>

Seth earns $560 per week. He has 1/5 of his income withheld for federal taxes, 1/15 of his income withheld for state taxes, and
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: Income is left each week after those deductions = $ 388.216

Explanation:

Amount Seth earns per week = $ 560

\text{Part of income withheld for federal taxes} = \frac{1}{5}

\text{Part of income withheld for state taxes }=\frac{1}{15}

\text{Part of income withheld for medical coverage} = \frac{1}{25}

\text{Part of income left after those deduction}\\= 1-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{25}

=1-\frac{15+5+3}{75}\\=1-\frac{23}{75}\\=\frac{75-23}{75}\\=\frac{52}{75}

So, income is left each week after those deductions is given by

\frac{52}{75}\times 560\\=\frc{52\times 560}{75}\\=\$388.266

Hence , Income is left each week after those deductions = $ 388.216
