Answer:

2 hrs 13 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .

If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.

In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.

1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)

9/20 = 1/y

9y= 20

y = 20/9

y = 2.22hrs

y = 2 hrs 13 mins

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 1/4 (8y -12) equivalent to 2y - 12? No. 1/4 (8y-12) equals out to 2y-3 not 2y-12. To solve the system of equations below, grace isolated the variable y in the first equation and then substituted into the second equation. what was the resulting equation? 3y=12x x^2/4+y^2/9=1

3x-3=2x<br><br> Please help me...?<br> 10 points given
svetoff [14.1K]
3x - 3 = 2x

Add 3 on both sides

3x - 3 + 3 = 2x + 3
3x = 2x + 3

Subtract 2x on both sides

3x - 2x = 2x + 3 - 2x
3x - 2x = 3
x = 3

So, your final answer is x = 3.

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle FED, find the measure of x. A. X = 9 B. X = 11 C. X = 110 D. X = 231
just olya [345]

Answer:

A+B+C=130

F+E+D=273

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Dimension of ABC

A=9

B=11

C=110

Dimension of FED

D=231

Generally the equation for the similar triangles is mathematically given by

\frac{A}{F}=\frac{B}{E}=\frac{C}{D}

Therefore solving for F

\frac{9}{F}=\frac{110}{231}

F=\frac{9*231}{110}

F=18.9

Therefore solving for E

\frac{11}{E}=\frac{110}{231}

E=\frac{11*231}{110}

E=23.1

Measure of \triangle ABC

A+B+C=130

Measure of \triangle FED

F+E+D=273
