If the first gardener can finish the job in 6 hours, it means that every hour he completes 1/6 of the job.

By the same logic, the second gardener completes 1/7 of the job per hour.

So, if they work together, they complete

\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7+6}{42}=\dfrac{13}{42}

of the job per hour.

So, after 42/13 of a hour, they'll complete the job. Since one hour is made of 60 minutes, 42/13 of a hour is

\dfrac{42}{13}\cdot 60 \approx 194

So, it will take them about 194 minutes to finish the job, i.e. about 3 hours and 14 minutes.

URGENT!!!! let x= -2, y=4, and z =1/2 evaluate z(y-3x)+x​
lianna [129]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to substitute the values into the equation

2. You would then have 1/2(4-3(-2))-2

3. Now you have to multiply 3×-2 and you will now have 1/2(4+6)-2

4. Then you have to add what's in the parenthesis and you will have 1/2(10)-2

5. Now multiply 1/2(10) and uou will have 5-2

6. Now subtract 5-2 and that will = 3

Given the equation −2x − 13 = 8x + 7, which order of operations completely solves for x? (1 point) 1Points A Add 2x, then subtra
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Subtract 8x, then add 13, lastly divide by −10                     option C

Explanation :

We have a linear equation-

−2x − 13 = 8x + 7

<u><em>Step 1:</em></u>  Combine like terms, we move 8x from right side to leftt side.

             So, Subtract 8x both the side

                -10x -13 =  7

<em><u>Step 2: </u></em>   Now move 13 from left side to right side.

                add 13 both the side

           - 10x = 20

<em><u>Step 3:</u></em>  Divide -10 both the side.

             \frac{-10x}{-10}  = \frac{20}{-10}

             x = -2
