Select the correct answer. Sean and Colleen are raking leaves in their yard. Working together, they can clear the yard of leaves

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

$\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20} =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20)) =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0$

Solving the quadratic equation to get c gives:

c = -12 and c = 40

Since the time cannot be negative, hence c = 40 minutes.

It would take colleen 40 minutes to clear the yard of leaves alone

C=2(y-k) solve for y

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$\blue{y = \dfrac{C + 2k}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$C = 2(y - k)$

$C = 2y - 2k$

$C + 2k = 2y$

$\dfrac{C + 2k}{2} = y$

$y = \dfrac{C + 2k}{2}$
