Answer:

14 ( c ) = Caleb's

12 ( c + 10 ) = Sergio's


Step-by-step explanation:

Caleb lifted 14 boxes so you multiply 14 by c which is the weight of each box and for Sergio he lifted 12 boxes although his weighed 10 pounds more so you add 10 to c which would equal c + 10 multiplied by 12

hope this did not confuse you

Working together, Candice and Ximena painted a fence in 8 hours. Last year, Ximena painted the fence by herself. The year before
makkiz [27]

Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12

As per given , we have

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-12}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x-12+x}{x(x-12)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8(2x-12)=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 16x-96=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-16x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-28x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-24x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-4)-24(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-4)(x-24)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=4, 24

if x= 4

Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours

Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)

Therefore, x= 24

Such that

Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours
