Answer: the older brother must work for 14 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that the younger brother must work.

Two brothers decide that a 21-hour task is to be divided so that the older brother works twice as long as the younger brother. This means that the number of hours that the older brother must work is expressed as 2x.

Since the total number of hours is 21, then

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

The number of hours that the older brother must work is

2x = 2 × 7 = 14 hours

Answer:

14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the task 3x

The older bro does twice as younger so it would be 2x long and younger brother work x long

Since the totsl of work is 3x = 21 x woul be 21÷3 = 7

the older brother must work 2 × 7 = 14 hours long

Find the value of x.<br><br> F) 6m<br> G) 7.5m<br> H) 15m<br> I) 21m
Xelga [282]

Answer:

x = 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (a + b)

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases

Here A = 60, h = 8, a = 9 and b = x , thus

\frac{1}{2} × 8 × (9 + x) = 60, that is

4(9 + x) = 60 ( divide both sides by 4 )

9 + x = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 6 m

Help plsssssss i'm lost il give brainiest
alex41 [277]

Answer:

A  16°

B  -8°

C  6°

D  -16°

E  -4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at 0° and 10°. There are 5 lines from one to the other, so each line represents 2°.

A

3 lines above 10° = 10° + 3 * 2° = 10° + 6° = 16°

B

1 lines above -10° = -10° + 2° = -8°

C

3 lines above 0° = 0° + 3 * 2° = 0° + 6° = 6°

D

2 lines above -20° = -20° + 2 * 2° = -20° + 4° = -16°

E

3 lines above -10° = -10° + 3 * 2° = -10° + 6° = -4°

F(x) = (x - 2)²(x+1)​
Inessa [10]

(x - 2)²(x+1)​

(x-2)(x-2)

multiply the two brackets together

(x)(x)=x^2

(x)(-2)=-2x

(-2)(x)=-2x

(-2)(-2)=4

x^2-2x-2x+4

x^2-4x+4

(x^2-4x+4)(x+1)

multiply the brackets together

(x^2)(x)=x^3

(x^2)(1)=x^2

(-4x)(x)=-4x^2

(-4x)(1)=-4x

(4)(1)=4

x^3+x^2-4x^2-4x+4x+4

Answer:

x^3-3x^2+4
