HELP! 20 POINTS

Work problems are solved by first figuring out how much of the job they can do in each hour. Shawn can do 1/4 of the job in an hour and Ellie can do 1/6 of the job in an hour. 1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=5/12. This means that they can do 5/12 of the job an hour. This means that together they can do the job in 2 2/5 hours. The foreman is obviously wrong because first of all Shawn can do it alone in 4 hours, so with Ellie he will do it faster, and second of all 2 2/5<5. Hope this helped!

alexdok [17]

Answer: Eliza wakes up at 6:25 A.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

What I did is first used the 45 minutes to make the time 10:00 P.M. which leaves you with 8 hours and 25 minutes, then i added the 8 hours onto 10:00 P.M. which leaves you at 6:00 A.M. with 25 minutes left, then you add the 25 minutes onto 6:00 A.M. which puts it at 6:25 A.M.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point 4, -6 and has a slope of -3

zheka24 [161]

Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.
$- 6 = - 3(4) + b$
Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.
$-6 = - 12 + b$
Now divide the -12 from both sides.
$\frac{ - 6}{ - 12} = \frac{ - 12}{ - 12} + b$
-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with
$- \frac {1}{2} = b$
Now re-enter the info back into the formula.
$y = - 3x - \frac{1}{2}$
Then you've got your formula
