Answer:

\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{6}

60 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

John - 12 hours

Rick - 15 hours

Molli - x hours

Together - 6 hours

Each of them can paint:

John - \frac{1}{12} of a room per hour

Rick - \frac{1}{15} of a room per hour

Molli - \frac{1}{x} of a room per hour

Together - \frac{1}{6} of a room per hour

So the equation is

\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{6}

Solve this equation:

\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{12}-\dfrac{1}{15}\\ \\\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{10-5-4}{60}=\dfrac{1}{60}\\ \\x=60

Molli can paint the room in 60 hours.

Please help if the value of (x+1)^2-3 is 22 what is the value of (x+1)^2-5
Finger [1]
We could solve for x, but notice that the same expression is being squared in both (x+1)

if (x+1)^2 - 3 = 22 then
  (x+1)^2 = 25

that would mean that (x+1)^2 - 5 = 25 - 5 = 20

Wich of the following is the correct graph of solution to the inequality -8 >-5x+2>-38
zimovet [89]
-5x + 2 > -38
-5x > -40
x < 8

-5x + 2 < -8
-5x < -10
x > 2

so the inequality becomes
2 < x < 8

so the graph will be a straight line with open circles on 2 and 8 and shading in between these values.

Gina wrote the number 43,628. Then she used the same digits to write a new number. In the new number, she moved the digit 6 one

The 1,000s place because she was in the 100s and you moved 6 to the left which makes the number higher.

One mile is equal to 5,280 feet. What is the sum of the lengths of all 18 holes on the golf course in miles?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

the answer would be 4 Miles.

explanation:

We already know that 5,280 feet equals 1 Mile, and so we divide-

21,120 divided by 5,280, and that equals 4.

hope that made sense! I’m not very good with wording things! :)
