Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours
Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3
Together they complete the job in 9 hours
Hence, let's represent the job as 1
9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1
Multiply through by (x)(x-3)
9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1
9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)
-27 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x +27 = 0
Literally just divide are you slow
Answer:
-6<x<-9
Step-by-step explanation:
if x+9<0 and 2x>-12
x<-9
x>-6
X is smaller than -9 but greater than -6.
The solution is -6<x<-9
