If for the slower printer it takes 10 hours for the whole thing, how much has it done in  1 hour?  well, since it takes 10 hours total, in 1 hour it has only done 1/10 th of the whole work.

the faster printer however, can do it in 6 total, how much has it done in 1 hour?  well, 1/6 of the whole work.

now, let's say, they both work together, and it takes "t" hours to finish the whole thing with both rolling.

let's add both rates to see how much that is,

\bf \stackrel{slower~printer}{\cfrac{1}{10}}~~+~~\stackrel{faster~printer}{\cfrac{1}{6}}~~=~~\stackrel{1hr~work}{\cfrac{1}{t}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{LCD is 30}\implies \cfrac{3+5}{30}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies \cfrac{8}{30}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies t=\cfrac{30\cdot 1}{80}

which is 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

3x+2 \ne x^2 \ne 2x for x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Triangle

Dimension: 3x + 2, x^2 and 2x

x = 4

Required

Determine if it has equal sides

To do this, we simply substitute 4 for x in the given dimensions

<u>3x + 2</u>

3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2

3x + 2 = 12 + 2

3x + 2 = 14

<u>x^2 </u>

x^2 = 4^2

x^2 = 16

<u>2x</u>

<u></u>2x = 2 * 4<u></u>

2x = 8

3x+2 \ne x^2 \ne 2x for x = 4
