Answer:

1/3 - 1/x=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total work be "1"

                        Brody          Hudson              Brody+Hudson

  Time              3 mins            x min                       5 min

  Efficiency        1/3                   -1/x                          1/5

The efficiency of Hudson is negative as he is taking out the candies out of the bowl, since efficiency of Brody + efficiency of Hudson = efficiency of both, which means,

1/3 - 1/x = 1/5....

The body of a great roadrunner is 16 in. Long and the tail is 8 in. Long. The total length of a great roadrunner is 4 times long
arlik [135]

Answer: Love bird is 4 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The body of a great roadrunner is 16 in. Long and the tail is 8 in.

Also, Total length of a great roadrunner is = 4 x (length of lovebird).

It implies, length of lovebird =\dfrac{\text{length of lovebird}}{4}

=\dfrac{16}{4}=4\text{ inches}

Hence, Love bird is 4 inches long.

Almost done help......
Anton [14]

Answer:

<em>x = 1 + ( √ 10 )/ 2, or x = 1 - ( √ 10 )/ 2; Option A</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

See steps below;

I would prefer answering this question by completing the square, rather than applying a quadratic formula;

3x^2 - 6x - 12 = 0, ⇒ Add 12 to either side,

3x^2 - 6x = 12, ⇒ Divide either side by 3,

x^2 - 2x = 4, ⇒ Write the equation in the form x^2 + 2ax + a^2 = (x + a)^2,

x^2 - 2ax + a^2 = 4 + a^2, ⇒ Solve for a

2ax = -2x,

a = - 1, ⇒ Substitute value of a,

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 4 + 1,

( x - 1 )^2 = 5, ⇒ Solve for x,

x = √5 + 1, and x = - √5 + 1,

In other words; <em>Solution : x = 1 + ( √ 10 )/ 2, or x = 1 - ( √ 10 )/ 2; Option A</em>

Solve the quadratic equation by taking square roots.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1

Given

2x² - 16 = 0 ( add 16 to both sides )

2x² = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{8} = ± 2\sqrt{2}

------------------------------------

2

Given

- 5x² + 9 = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- 5x² = - 9 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x² = \frac{9}{5} ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{\frac{9}{5} } = ± \frac{3}{\sqrt{5} }

-----------------------------------------

3

Given

6x² - 15 = 27 ( add 15 to both sides )

6x² = 42 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{7}
