Answer:

Required equation : \frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}

Together they can paint the same room in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Dale Horton can paint a certain room in 3 hours.

One hour woks of Dale Horton = 1/3

Kathy Garcia can paint the same room in 9 hours.

One hour woks of Kathy Garcia = 1/9

Let together they can paint the same room in t hours.

One hour woks of both = 1/t

\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}

\frac{1}{t}=\frac{3+1}{9}

\frac{1}{t}=\frac{4}{9}

After reciprocal we get

\frac{t}{1}=\frac{9}{4}

t=2.25

1 hour = 60 minutes.

0.25 hour = 15 minutes.

Therefore, together they can paint the same room in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes.

1. Alice invests $1000 at 2% interest compounded monthly over a 5 year period. Assuming no other money is deposited or withdrawn
eduard

Answer:

$1,105.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Alice invests $ 1000 at 2% interest compounded monthly over a 5 year period, assuming no other money is deposited or withdrawn, to determine what is the total amount of money in her account after 5 years, the following calculation must be performed:

X = 1,000 (1 + 0.02 / 12) ^ 5x12

X = 1,105.08

Thus, the amount of money in her account after 5 years would be $ 1,105.08.

Determine which of the following equations, when graphed, intersect at the point (4, 0). Select all that apply. x - y = 4 -x - y
Elza [17]

Answer: only (x-y=4) and (x+y=4).


Step-by-step explanation:

Notice target point has y=0, so all terms with y are zero. Then all 6 equations reduce to m x = k, for various m and k. So calculate 4×m and compare to k six times.


x - y = 4 4=4 yes

-x - y = 4 -4=4 no

2x - y = 7 8=7 no

x + y = 4 4=4 yes

2x + y = 7 8=7 no

2x + y = -7 8=-7 no.
