Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Plug in the 1/2 where the a’s are answer is -3
Answer:
a^3b + 2a^2b^2 + ab^3
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+b)^2
= a^2 + 2ab + b^2
ab(a^2 + 2ab + b^2)
= a^3b + 2a^2b^2 + ab^3
6 posts at 8 feet apart because 8 goes into 48 equally and you get 6. 48/8=6
Hope this helps!
