Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12. 
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.

Combine as indicated by the signs. 8-y/3y + y+2/9y - 2/6y
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

26 + y

----------

   9y


Step-by-step explanation:

Your using parentheses here would remove a great deal of ambiguity.  Looking at your 8-y/3y + y+2/9y - 2/6y, I have interpreted it to mean:

(8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y.  For example, without parentheses, your 8-y/3y might be interpreted differently, as 8   -   y/(3y), or 8 - 1/3.

Looking at (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y again, we see three different denominators:  3y, 9y and 6 y.  The LCD here is 9y.  Multiplying all three terms of  (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y by the LCD, we get:

3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y.  We must now divide this by the LCD:

3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y

--------------------------

            9y

Next we need to perform the indicated multiplication:

24 - 3y + y + 2 + 3y

----------------------------

            9y

and then to combine like terms:

24 + 2 - 3y + y + 3y,           26 + y

----------------------------   or    -----------

              9y                             9y
