Answer: Annette will take 6 hours to do the entire job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Time taken by Kelly to do \dfrac{1}{5} of job = 2 hours

i.e. Time for complete job done alone by Kelly =5\times2=10\ hours

Rest of work = 1-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{4}{5} of the job

\dfrac{4}{5}  of the complete job done by both Kelly and Annette in 3 hours

Time would be taken by then to do entire job together = 3\times\dfrac{5}{4}=3.75\ hours

Let t be the time taken by Annette to do job alone.

Then, as per situation

\dfrac{1}{3.75}=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{3.75}-\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{4}{15}-\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=6

hence, Annette will take 6 hours to do the entire job alone.

Fifteen more than twice the hours Carla worked last week is the same as three times the hours she worked this week decreased by
lapo4ka [179]
2x-15=3(x-15) 
2x-15=3x-45
2x+30=3x
30=x

Let's check this work!

2(30)-15=3(30-15)
60-15=3(15)
45=45

She worked 45 hours each week

 *the reason it is 2x-15 and not 15+2x is because "more than" is considered a "turn around word" meaning it is the opposite

Consider the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+5=0,where a, b and c are rational numbers and the quadratic has two distinct zeros.
FrozenT [24]
You have shared the situation (problem), except for the directions:  What are you supposed to do here?  I can only make a educated guesses.  See below:

Note that if    <span>ax^2+bx+5=0    then it appears that c = 5 (a rational number).

Note that for simplicity's sake, we need to assume that the "two distinct zeros" are real numbers, not imaginary or complex numbers.  If this is the case, then the discriminant,    b^2 - 4(a)(c), must be positive.  Since c = 5, 

b^2 - 4(a)(5) > 0, or b^2 - 20a > 0.

Note that if the quadratic has two distinct zeros, which we'll call "d" and "e," then 

(x-d) and (x-e) are factors of ax^2 + bx + 5 = 0, and that because of this fact,

         - b plus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
d =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

and

 </span>         - b minus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
e =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

Some (or perhaps all) of these facts may help us find the values of "a" and "b."  Before going into that, however, I'm asking you to share the rest of the problem statement.  What, specificallyi, were you asked to do here?

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Brainliest!

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is in: y = mx + b

12y = -8x + 48

y = (-8x+48)/12

y = -2/3x+4
