Let x be the price of the blouse.
42=2x-14
56=2x
28=x
The blouse was $28
One approach that might be a great help would be if you would look
at the choices ... those things at the bottom of the question that you
didn't give us.
-- One leg is 3 times the length of the other leg.
-- Any right triangle that has one leg three times as long as the other
leg is similar to this triangle.
I'll bet that if you look through the choices, you'll find one there.
In place of x you keep 6 and in place of y you keep -2
F(x) = 1/4x + 2
This means that the y-intercept is 2 and the slope is 1/4.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2.4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total work = X
Rate of work done = X ÷ time
Rate of A = X/4
Rate of B = X/6
If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.
X/4 + X/6
= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)
=5X/12
Rate = X/time
5X/12 = X/time
time = X÷(5X/12)
time = X × 12/(5X)
time = 2.4 hours
Shortcut:
Product of individual times/sum of individual times
= (4×6)/(4+6)
=24/10
=2.4 hours
