Let the number of days be x.

Jameer paints 1 wall in 3 days. In 1 day, he paints 1/3 of a wall. In x days, he paints (1/3)x walls.

June paints 2 walls in 5 days. In 1 day, she paints 2/5 of a wall. In x days, she paints (2/5)x walls.

Working together, in x days they paint (1/3)x + (2/5)x walls.

We want to know the number of days they will take to paint 10 walls, so we let the expression equal 10.

(1/3)x + (2/5)x = 10

(5/15)x + (6/15)x = 10

(11/15)x = 10

x = 10 * 15/11

x = 150/11

It will take 150/11 days which is the same as 13.6363... days or approximately 13.6 days.

svp [43]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = – 3x^2 + 5x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

= 5x^2 + 9x – 4 + (– 8x^2 – 3x – 4)

= 5x^2 + 9x – 4 – 8x^2 – 3x – 4

Combine

= – 3x^2 + 5x - 8

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? -7/11 6/11 -5/11 4/11....
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

the right answer is \frac{3}{4} ,-\frac{3}{5},- \frac{3}{6} ,-\frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the reason for the sequence, the following formula must be used;

q = t2 / t1

where t2 is equal to the second value of the sequence and t1 to the first value.

q= t2/t1

q = \frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{-\frac{3}{4} } = \frac{12}{15} =\frac{4}{5}
