The answer to this is (x + 7)(x + 8)
Answer:
47/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Time taken to paint 3 cars = 4 hours
Time taken to paint 2 trucks = 5 hours
How long will it take him to paint 4 cars and a truck
If 3 cars = 4 hours ;
Then ;
1 car = (4/3)hours
If 2 trucks = 5 hours
Then;
1 truck = (5/2) hours = 2 1/2 hours
Time required To paint 4 cars :
4 × (4/3) = 16/3 hours
Time required to paint 1 truck :5/2 hours
Total time required :
(16/3 + 5/2) = (32 + 15) / 6 = 47/6
First of all you need to get rid of the -27 on the left side, to do so you add 27 to both sides so it becomes:
5/8a=20
Now you can divide it by 5 to get:
1/8a=4
Now multiply it by 8 to get:
a=32
Hope this helps :)
There are two 1/2 hours in 1 hour.
