Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours
Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3
Together they complete the job in 9 hours
Hence, let's represent the job as 1
9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1
Multiply through by (x)(x-3)
9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1
9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)
-27 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x +27 = 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to subtract 2 1/2 from 6 and that will equal 3 and 1/2.
You idiot you answered your own question!
We know there is 57 members are in the math club and there is twice as many sixth grades than the seventh. To find out how many sixth graders are in the club, we do:
x = seventh graders
2x = sixth graders
2x + x = 3x
57=3x
57 ÷ 3 = 3x ÷3
19 = x
So there is 19 seventh graders and 19×2= 38 sixth graders
