Answer:

2 hours 15 minutes

2.25 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maria's time by herself = x minutes

Let Miguel's time by himself = 2x minutes

You have to be careful how you set this equation up. Start with the right. The 1 represents the Job to be done. It takes 90 minutes.

The left hand side = 1/x which is the amount of time Maria (x) takes to do the job by herself. She doesn't do the job by herself.

Miguel helps her, so the portion he does is represented by 1/2x. Because he's helping, her time is cut back; he's doing some of the work.

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

(2 + 1)/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

3/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

270 = 2x

x = 135 minutes.

It would take her 135 minutes to do the windows alone. That's 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Answer:For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.

y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.

We write the system of equations:

x + y = 60

y = (1/2) x

Solving the system we have:

x = 40 minutes

y = 20 minutes

Answer:

it take her to wash them by herself about:

y = 20 minutes

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Olegator [25]
The answer is A.
We can first eliminate D since it uses these (<, >) signs and the lines are shaded, indicating the points on those lines are solutions.
We can also eliminate C because the y intercept in C’s lines is 2, while in the graph, they are both 3.
Finally, we can look at both inequalities on the graph and see that the shaded areas are both underneath the line. This means that y is less than the equation for the line, eliminating B
So, the answer is A
Hope this made sense!!
