Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
just multiply every number by 2 and it should work out.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. 0
E. -3
F. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can't divide by 0; it is undefined. So if x cannot equal zero, then anything that turns the denominator to zero is an asymptote. Therefore, the roots of the cubic expression would be excluded, and we get our final answers.
Since Irina can paint 1 room in 9 hours, that means she paints 1/9 of the room in 1 hour. Her portion of the equation would be 1/9x, with x being the number of hours she works and 1/9 of a room per hour being her speed.
Since Paulo can paint 1 room in 8 hours, that means he paints 1/8 of the room in 1 hour. His portion of the equation would be 1/8x, with x being the number of hours he works and 1/8 of a room per hour being his speed.
The equation would then be 1/9x + 1/8x = 1 (Irina's portion of the room, plus Paulo's portion of the room, equal to one whole room).
Find a common denominator. 72 is the first number that both 9 and 8 divide evenly into. Since 9*8 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/9 by 8 to convert the fraction and get 8/72x. Since 8*9 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/8 by 9 to convert the fractio and get 9/72x. We now have 8/72x+9/72x=1
17/72x=1
Divide both sides by 17/72:
17/72x ÷ 17/72 = 1÷17/72
x=1/1 ÷ 17/72
x=1/1 * 72/17
x=72/17=4.24
Together it should take them 4.24 hours.
