X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0
</span>therefore the answer is A.
Answer:
AE = 18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ AEB and Δ DEC are similar , then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
10(2x + 4) = 12(x + 8) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
20x + 40 = 12x + 96 ( subtract 12x from both sides )
8x + 40 = 96 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Then
AE = 2x + 4 = 2(7) + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18 units
