Answer:

Area = length x width

Area = (3width - 13) x width

Area = 3 width^2 -13width

56 = 3width^2 -13 width

Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 1

Lorico [155]

Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.

How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?

let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

then

(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)

let the completed job = 1

A typical shared work equation

7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1

multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have

7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)

7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t

15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t

form a quadratic equation on the right

0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60

t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0

Factor easily to

(t-12) (t+5) = 0

the positive solution is all we want here

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

then

the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.

Which graph shows the line y - 2 = 2(x + 2)?

klasskru [66]

For this case we have the following linear function:
$y - 2 = 2 (x + 2)
$
Rewriting we have:
$y - 2 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 4 + 2

y = 2x + 6$
We observe that the linear function has:
Positive slope and equal to 2.
Intersection with the axis y equal to 6.
Answer:
y = 2x + 6
