Basically its 250 + 16x = 210 + 18x where x = the number of hours doing the job.
Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20
The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.
Hope this helped!
I'm guessing you find the length of the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c² a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
15² + 8² = c²
225 + 64 = c²
289 = c²
√289 = √c²
17 = c
hope that helps, God bless!
Answer:
First
Step-by-step explanation:
The first person in the line will always have an odd position, not an even one. They will be the only one left.
Using the 2nd row it traveled 120 miles in 3 hours
so 120/3 = 40 miles per hour
so distance (d) = 40h
Regroup terms
2(x + 2) = 1
Divided both sides by 2
x + 2 = 1/2
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 1/2 - 2
Simplify 1/2 - 2 to -3/2
<u>x = -3/2</u>
