1) we calculate the portion of pool cleaned by Anita in a hour.
1 pool cleaned-----------------8 hour
x-----------------------------------1 hour

x=(1 pool cleaned * 1 hour) / 8 hour=1/8 portion cleaned.

2) we calculate the portion of pool cleaned by Chao  in a hour.
1 pool cleaned-----------------6 hour
x-----------------------------------1 hour

x=(1 pool cleaned * 1 hour) / 6 hour=1/6 portion cleaned.

3) we can suggest this equation:
x=number of hour

x(1/8+1/6)=1

(number of hour)*(portion of pool cleaned by Anita in a hour + portion of pool cleaned by Chao in a hour)=1 pool cleaned.

4) we solve this equation:
x(1/8 + 1/6 )=1

1/8+1/6=(3+4)/24=7/24
least common multiple (8,6)=24

x(7/24)=1
x=(1*24)/7
x=24/7≈3.43     (3 hours,  25 minutes, 43 seconds)

Answer:together they cleaned the pool in 3 hours, 25 minutes and 43 seconds.

Complete question :

A pair of $36 jeans were on sale at Jim's Jeans for 1/3 off. The same pair of jeans were $42 at David's Denims. The jeans were on sale for 2/3 off.

A.) which store had the better buy

B.) how much will you pay at the store that has the better buy

Answer:

A.)David's denim has the better buy

B.) $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's Jean store :

Cost of Jean = $36

Discount = 1/3 off

Discounted cost = $36 - (1/3 * $36)

Discounted cost = $36 - $12 = $24

David's Denim:

Cost of Jean = $42

Discount = 2/3 off

Discounted cost = $42 - (2/3 * $42)

Discounted cost = $42 - $28 = $14

David's denim has the better buy with a discounted price lower than the discounted price at Jim's store.

Cost at store with the better buy is $14

What is an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (6,-2) and had a slope of 3
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

y - 6 = 3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Given: m(slope) = 3, (6, -2)

(x1, y1) = (6, -2)

Input the given values of the slope and the point into the equation for point-slope form:

y - (-2) = 3(x - 6)

y + 2 = 3(x - 6)

The equation written in point-slope form is: y + 2 = 3(x - 6)
