Answer: 4/3 hours or 1 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that two mechanics, Martin and Gordon, are working on your car. Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, while Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours.

Since Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, that means in 1 hour, he will do 1/4 of the work.

Since Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours, that means in 1 hour, he'll do 1/2 of the job.

When they both work together, we will add their fraction of work done in one hour together. This will be:

= 1/4 + 1/2

= 3/4

This means that both of them will do 3/4 of the job in one hour. Then to get the time taken to get the whole job done, we divide 1 by 3/4. This will be:

= 1 ÷ 3/4

= 1 × 4/3

= 4/3 hours

= 1 hour 20 minutes.

2(b-5)+3(b-2)=8+7(b-4) <br><br> Show work<br> ASAP please
jonny [76]
<span>2(b-5)+3(b-2)=8+7(b-4)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
<span>2(b-5)+3(b-2)=8+7(b-4)

Reorder the terms in parentheses
<span>+(+2b-10)+3*(b-2)=8+7*(b-4)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
<span>+2b-10+3+*(+b-2+)=+8+7+*(+b-4+)

Reorder the terms in parentheses
<span>+2b-10+(+3b-6)=8+7*(b-4)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
<span>+2b-10+3b-6=+8+7+*(+b-4+)

Reorder the terms in parentheses
<span>+2b-10+3b-6=8+(+7b-28)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
<span>+2b-10+3b-6=+8+7b-28

We move all terms containing b to the left and all other terms to the right.
<span>+2b+3b-7b=+8-28+10+6

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
<span><span>-2b=-4

</span>We divide both sides of the equation by -2 to get b.
<span>b=2</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>
