Answer:

  D)  7.01

Step-by-step explanation:

The rates of doing work, in terms of jobs per hour, will add when the two painters are working together. If A represents Alberto's time to do the job alone, we have ...

  1/4.12 = 1/10 + 1/A

(Jobs per hour is the inverse of hours per job.)

  A = 1/(1/4.12 -1/10) ≈ 7.0068 ≈ 7.01

It takes Alberto 7.01 hours to do the job alone.

Which are solutions of x2 + 5x = 2? Check all that apply.
ANEK [815]

we have

x^{2} +5x=2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} +5x+2.5^{2}=2+2.5^{2}

x^{2} +5x+6.25=2+6.25

x^{2} +5x+6.25=8.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+2.5)^{2}=8.25

Square Root both sides

(x+2.5)=(+/-)\sqrt{8.25}

x=(+/-)\sqrt{8.25}-2.5

\sqrt{8.25}=\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}

substitute

x=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}-2.5

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the solutions are

x1=-2.5+\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2} or x1=\frac{-5+\sqrt{33}}{2}

x2=-2.5-\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2} or x2=\frac{-5-\sqrt{33}}{2}
