The lowest common denominator is lcm(5, 3), which is 15.
The sum of 2/5 + 5/3 + 9/3 is 6/15 + 25/15 + 45/15, which is 76/15 or 
.
Since if he gets the driveway done in 20 minutes he gets 1/20th of the driveway done in 1 minute (if x=20 then x/20=1 by dividing both sides by 20) and if his brother gets 1/12th of the driveway done in one minute, then if t represents the time it takes to shovel the driveway, t/20+t/12=1 driveway shoveled as 1/20+1/12=amount they can do in 1 minute, so t/20+t/12 is how much they can do in t minutes. Multiplying both sides by 20*12=240, we get 12t+20t=32t=240. Dividing both sides by 32, we get 240/32=7.5 minutes to shovel the driveway.
Is the number 30?

Answer:
well the answer is 0.185
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple.....
always remember the y-intercept is where your line hits the y-axis... or where it hits the vertical axis...
As we can see this line hits the y-axis at (0,3)-->> y-intercept=3
Thus, your answer.
