Answer:

14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ⓗⓘ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ

Well, what I do for these problems is do 1/x with x being the amount of time given.

1/21+1/42=3/42

3/42=1/14

Together, they would take 14 minutes!

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hope this helped! Have a great day! :) ♥

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: E
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?

Jane's evaluation :

x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2

Step 1:

(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

Step 2:

-4 + 6 + 5

Step 3 :

= 7

Jane's mistake was in STEP2,

evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4

Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

= 4 + 6 + 5

= 15

A circle has a circumference of 28.26 units. What is the diameter of the circle?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The diameter of the circle is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because circumference is equal to \pi * d, we can backtrack and use this equation to find diameter. Let's say \pi is equal to 3.14.

28.26 = 3.14d

Divide both sides by 3.14.

9 = d


The diameter of the circle is 9.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
andre [41]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Δ YES ∼ Δ NOT, then it means that ΔYES and ΔNOT are similar triangles.

The similar triangles means that all the corresponding angles of the two triangles are same i.e. ∠ Y = ∠ N, ∠ E = ∠ O and ∠ S = ∠ T

Therefore, according to the property of similar triangles we can write that

\frac{NO}{YE} = \frac{OT}{ES}  = \frac{NT}{YS}.

Therefore, option A is correct.
