Both terms (1/3b and -1/3) contain the term 1/3. Factoring this out, we get:

1/3(b - 1)

Workers have been down the street installing two blinking red lights in front of the fire station. The two lights are always tur

daser333 [38]

Answer:

After 88 seconds, they will blink together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time after which the first light blinks = 8 seconds

Time after which the second light blinks = 22 seconds

Initially, both the lights blink together.

To find:

The time at which they will blink together again.

Solution:

Let us have a look at the time after which each light will blink.

First light will blink after:

8 s, 16 s, 24 s, 32 s, 40 s, 48 s, 56 s, 64 s, 72 s, 80 s, 88 s, 96 s, 104 s, ......

Second light will blink after:

22 s, 44 s, 66 s, 88 s, 110 s, .....

It can be seen that common time is 88 second, at which the both will blink together.

So, the answer is 88 s.

This answer can also be computed by taking the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both the numbers i.e. 8 and 22.

Using the factorization method:

$8=\underline{2}\times 2\times 2$

$22=\underline{2}\times 11$

Common is 2.

Therefore the LCM will be:

$2\times 2\times2\times 11 = \bold{88}$

So, the answer is 88 s.

Use slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

XZ: -5/9
YZ: 2/7
XY: -7/2

XYZ is a right triangle because two of these slopes have a product of -1.

(YZ and XY does). We are all busy these days.

How to use substitution to solve system of equations

svlad2 [7]

Answer: See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you have a System of two equations. You can solve this System using the Substitution Method.

In order to use that method to solve the System of equations, you can follow the steps shown below:

Step 1: You must choose one of the equations of the system and solve for one of the variables. Let's call this new equation "Equation A"

Step 2: Then you must substitute"Equation A" into the other equation.

Step 3: Now you must solve for the other variable in order to find its value.

Step 4: Finally, you need to substitute the value of the variable obtained in the previous step, into the "Equation A" and then evaluate in order to find the value of the other varibale.

(Note: You can also substitute the value of the variable calculated in Step 3 into any original equation and solve for the other variable to find its value).

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Your correct answer is 14t - 40
