Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A produces x boxes in 10 minutes

In one minute, the machine produces x/10 boxes

Machine B produces 2x boxes in 5 minutes

In one minute, the machine produces 2x/5 boxes

Therefore in one minutes, both boxes working together will produce

= 2x/5 + x/10

=5x/10

=x/2 boxes

To produce 3x boxes, the time required

= 3x/(x/2)

= 3 × 2

= 6

It take machines A and B, working simultaneously at their respective constant rates, to produce 3x boxes in 6 minutes

Solve the polynomial inequation and graph the solution set on a number line. Express the solution in interval notation.
kirill [66]
Solving a polynomial inequation

Solving the following inequation:

(x - 8) (x + 1) > 0

We are going to find the sign both parts of the multiplication,

(x - 8) and (x + 1), have when

x < - 8

-8 < x < 1

1 < x

Then we know (x - 8) (x + 1) > 0 whenever (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive

We can see in the figure (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive when x < -8 and x > 1

Then
