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}

Answer:

y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

For direct variation:  y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given that Y equals -12 when x equals 6, we have -12 = k(6).  Solve this for k by dividing both sides by 6:

k = -12/6 => k = -2

Then the "direct variation equation" here is y = -2x.

A savings account earns 6% simple interest per year. The principal is $800. What is the balance after 18 months?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$872

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest = Principle * Rate * Time / 100

= ( 800 * 6 * 18/12 ) / 100

= $ 72

The balance after 18 months = principle + interest

= 800 + 72

= $ 872
