Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Theo's siste can paint a fence in x times

Given.

Theo can paint a fence three times as fast as his sister can. Working together, they can paint a fence in 9 hours.

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{3x} =\frac{1}{9}\\\frac{3+1}{3x} =\frac{1}{9} \\\frac{4}{3x}=\frac{1}{9}

Apply cross multiplication

x=\frac{9\times 4}{3}\\x=\frac{36}{3} \\x=12hours

Theo’s sister to paint the fence in 12 hours.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

m<N = 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∆JKL and ∆MNL are isosceles ∆ (isosceles ∆ has 2 equal sides).

m<J = 64° (given)

Required:

m<N

SOLUTION:

m<K = m<J (base angles of an isosceles ∆ are equal)

m<K = 64° (Substitution)

m<K + m<J + m<JLK = 180° (sum of ∆)

64° + 64° + m<JLK = 180° (substitution)

128° + m<JLK = 180°

subtract 128 from each side

m<JLK = 180° - 128°

m<JLK = 52°

In isosceles ∆MNL, m<MLN and <M are base angles of the ∆. Therefore, they are of equal measure.

Thus:

m<MLN = m<JKL (vertical angles are congruent)

m<MLN = 52°

m<M = m<MLN (base angles of isosceles ∆MNL)

m<M = 52° (substitution)

m<N + m<M° + m<MLN = 180° (Sum of ∆)

m<N + 52° + 52° = 180° (Substitution)

m<N + 104° = 180°

subtract 104 from each side

m<N = 180° - 104°

m<N = 76°

What is the solution to 6x=30
Tasya [4]

Answer:

\boxed{x=5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Division property of equality- is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number it does not change the equation.

First you had to divide by six from both sides of an equation form.

\frac{6x}{6}= \frac{30}{6}

30/6=5

30/5=6

5*6=30

6*5=30

x=5

5=x

Final answer: \boxed{x=5}

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.

Peter takes16 minutes longer to mow the lawn by himself than Charles . Together they can mow the lawn in 18 minutes. How long wi
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

  about 29.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it take c minutes for Charles to mow the lawn by himself, it takes c+16 minutes for Peter. The two of them working together can mow in one minute this fraction of the entire lawn:

  1/c + 1/(c+16) = 1/18

Multiplying by 18c(c+16), we get ...

  18(c +16) + 18(c) = c(c+16)/18

  36c +288 = c^2 +16c

  c^2 -20c = 288 . . . . . subtract 36c

  c^2 -20c +100 = 388 . . . . . add (20/2)^2 = 100 to complete the square

  (c -10)^2 = 388

  c = 10 +√388 ≈ 29.6977 . . . . . take the positive square root

It takes Charles about 29.7 minutes to mow the lawn by himself.
