If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
Right side:
(1/27)^(2x+10)
=(3^-3)^(2x+10)
= 3^(-6x - 30)
Re-write both sides:
3^(4x-5) = 3^(-6x - 30)
from here, you can solve x
4x - 5 = -6x - 30
4x + 6x = -30 + 5
10x = -25
x = -2.5
Answer: 168 toads
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the area of the garden. Area = length x width
Area = 12m x 7m = 84 m²
2 toads/ 1 sq m
84(2) = 168
Answer:
c = -a - b + 180
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the c. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract a and b from both sides
a (-a) + b (-b) + c = 180 (-a) (-b)
c = 180 - a - b
c = -a - b + 180 is your answer

Answer: I believe it should be answer B
Step-by-step explanation: the x coordinate pairs with y and vice versa and if it’s positive you subtract is how I remember it.
