Answer: 1\frac{3}{5} hrs

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1st painter:  \frac{1}{2}

2nd painter: \frac{1}{8}

1st + 2nd = Together

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{1}{2}(8x) + \frac{1}{8}(8x) = \frac{1}{x}(8x)

4x + x = 8

5x = 8

 x = \frac{8}{5}

    = 1\frac{3}{5}

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,3) and has a slope of -1/5 ?
deff fn [24]

Answer: y=-1/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation: use the equation y=mx+b (x,y)->(5,3) 5 is an x value and 3 is a y value so you want to plug in these values into the equation. 3=-1/5(5)+b. We already know our slope so just plug it into m. Now multiply -1/5 and 5 which is -1. 3=-1+b you want to isolate b so you can find the intercept. Add one to both sides so it cancels out. 4=b we found our y-intercept so we can write the equation now. y=-1/5x+4
