Answer : 4x + 1 3/4 = 10
Step - by - step explanation : The reason 4 has an " x " at the end of it is because we don't know its exact number
Part A: Yes there is. As the number of workers increases, so does the production.
Part B: y = 5x + 2
Part C: The slope indicates that for every person there is 5 units being produced, and the y-intercept indicates that 2 units are being made every day, regardless of if there are no workers ( this, however is unrealistic but it is how the data is )
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Step-by-step explanation:
-(-5x + 3) = 17
5x - 3 = 17
5x = 20
x = 4.
Answer:
for the fraction its 2,5 for the percentage its 40%
