1. In an hour, Lance can do 1/5 of the job and Kim can do 1/4 of the same job. Letting x be the number of hours it will take them to do the job together.
                                     (1/5 + 1/4) x = 1
The value of x is 20/9 or approximately 2.22 hours. 

2. Same as the concept above, the equation that would best describe the situation is,
                                   (1/x + 1/2x)(5) = 1
The value of x is 7.5 hours. Since this value is the number of hours Dominique can do the job alone, Houston's time will be 15 hours.

In 1 hour, Lance can paint \frac{1}{5} of the room.
In 1 hour, Kim can paint \frac{1}{4} of the room.
In 1 hour both will paint;
\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4}
\frac{4}{20} + \frac{5}{20}
=\frac{9}{20}

Together they will take;
\frac{20}{9}
=2\frac{2}{9}

Find the value of x in 2(x+1)=4​
Anni [7]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x by isolating the variable.

First, expand the parentheses:

2(x + 1) = 4

2 * x + 2 * 1 = 4

2x + 2 = 4

Then subtract by 2:

2x + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2

2x = 2

Finally, divide by 2:

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

Thus, x = 1.

Hope this helps!
