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

If you do all you'll get brainliest
Flura [38]
The two equations:
Daisy’s: y = 4x + 14
Donald’s: y= 2x + 26

The point of intersection is (6, 38)
This point refers to how many of passengers it will take for both equations to have have the same cost output.

Daisy’s deal is better if you have less than 6 passengers. We can tell because the line for the equation is lower than Donald’s line. Donald’d deal will be better if you have more than 6 passengers since the line is lower than daisy’s deal.

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line.? y = 2 + se
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The volume of the solid is: \mathbf{V = \pi [ \dfrac{8 \pi}{3} - 2\sqrt{3}]}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that :

y = 2 + sec \  x , -\dfrac{\pi}{3} \leq x \leq \dfrac{\pi}{3} \\ \\ y = 4\\ \\ about \  y \ = 2

This implies that the distance between the x-axis and the axis of the rotation = 2 units

The distance between the x-axis and the inner ring is r = (2+sec x) -2

Let R be the outer radius and r be the inner radius

By integration; the volume of the of the solid  can be calculated as follows:

V = \pi \int\limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} [(4-2)^2 - (2+ sec \ x -2)^2]dx \\ \\ \\ V = \pi \int\limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} [(2)^2 - (sec \ x )^2]dx \\ \\ \\ V = \pi \int\limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} [4 - sec^2 \ x ]dx

V = \pi [4x - tan \  x]^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}}  \\ \\ \\ V = \pi [4(\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - 4(-\dfrac{\pi}{3})+ tan (-\dfrac{\pi}{3})] \\ \\ \\ V = \pi [4(\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) + 4(\dfrac{\pi}{3})- tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3})]  \\ \\ \\ V = \pi [8(\dfrac{\pi}{3})  - 2 \  tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) ]

\mathbf{V = \pi [ \dfrac{8 \pi}{3} - 2\sqrt{3}]}
