Answer:
Paula = 4 hours
Roberto = 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken by Paula = x
Time taken by Roberto = x +. 8
Paula's rate = 1/x
Roberto's rate = 1/(x + 8)
Combined rate = 1/3
Time it takes each if them working alone ;
Paula's rate + Roberto's rate = combined rate
1 /x + 1 / (x +8) = 1/3
Take the L. C. M
((x+8) + x) / x(x+8) = 1/3
(2x + 8) / x(x + 8) = 1/3
3(2x + 8) = x(x + 8)
6x + 24 = x² + 8x
x² + 8x - 6x - 24 = 0
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation :
x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0
x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = 0
(x - 4) = 0 or (x + 6) = 0
x = 4 or x = - 6
Time taken cannot be negative
Hence, x = 4
Hence, working alone, it takes ;
Time taken by Paula = 4
Time taken by Roberto = 4 + 8 = 12
Answer:
3n + 7 + n and 4n + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for this statement:
2x – 14 = 6
=> 2x = 6 + 14
=> 2x = 20
=> x = 20/2
=> x = 10
I'm not too sure, but I think it's like this: Emily; 46.50/173.22= 0.2684
Ally: 47.04/ 173.22= 0.272
Rosalia: 39.84/173.22= <span>0.2299</span>
