Answer:
A) 7.24 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.
In this problem:
Beth's rate is 1/15(suppose there was a small typing mistake there, with 151 none of the options are correct).
Mike's rate is 1/14
The together rate is 1/x
Then
We want to find x.
15*14 = 210. So
Cross multiplication
So the correct answer is:
A) 7.24 hours
The value of x determined algebraically given the total area of the rectangle is 1.5 inches
<h3>How to find area of a rectangle</h3>
Initial dimensions:
Length = 14 inches
Width = 10 inches
New dimensions:
Length = 14 + x
Width = 10 + x
Area = 320 square inches
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
320 = (14 + x) × (10 + x)
320 = 14x × 10x
320 = 140x²
x² = 320/140
x² = 2.28571428571428
x = √2.28571428571428
x = 1.511857892036908908858066144936720243
Approximately,
x = 1.5

Answer:
x = ( k+c)/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - c = k
Add c to each side
5x -c+c = k+c
5x = k+c
Divide by 5
5x/5= ( k+c)/5
x = ( k+c)/5
