Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
57 - 3 = 54. 54/2 = 27.
The answer would be 2x^2+2x-24
using foil, you would multiply together x & x, x & 6, -4 & x, and -4 & 6, then add them together.
The amount of work done by Kalon in an hour is equal to 1/4. This is based on his time to finish the job. Letting x be the number of hours Marna can finish the job alone will let her finish 1/x of the job in an hour. If their rates are added together and multiplied by the number of hours they worked together, the product should be one whole job.
(1/4 + 1/x)(1 5/7) = 1
The value of x is 3. Therefore, it will take 3 hours for Marna to clean the chimney alone.
