Answer:
10.82
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
I don’t get it but probably the scissors lol
Answer:
-2n - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms. Note that each term has one variable (n). Also note that one negative sign and one positive sign results in a negative sign.
-6n + (-12) + 4n = -6n + 4n - 12 = -2n - 12
-2n - 12 is your answer
