Answer: 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that each person is assigned one wall, and all 5 people begin painting at the same time.

Since everyone will finish painting their assigned wall after 20 minutes, it takes one person 20 minutes to paint one wall.

If we have 9 people and 9 walls, we can again assign one wall to each person.

Everyone will take 20 minutes to paint their assigned wall.

In other words, it takes 20 minutes for 9 people to paint 9 walls.

If a+b+c =0 show that a³+b³+c³= 3abc

slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=0, a+b=-c,a+c=-b, b+c=-a

(a+b+c)^3=(a+b+c)^2*(a+b+c)=(a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc)*(a+b+c)=

a^3+ab^2+ac^2+2a^2b+2a^2c+2abc+a^2b+b^3+bc^2+2ab^2+2abc+2b^2c+a^2c+b^2c+c^3+2abc+2ac^2+2bc^2=a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2b+3a^2c+3ac^2+3ab^2+3bc^2+3b^2c+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2*(b+c)+3c^2(a+b)+3b^2(a+c)+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3+3a^2*(-a)+3c^2*(-c)+3b^2*(-b)+6abc=

a^3+b^3+c^3-3a^3-3c^3-3b^3+6abc=

6abc-2a^3-2b^3-2c^3=2(3abc-a^3-b^3-c^3)=

2*[3abc-(a^3+b^3+c^3)]=0

so 3abc-(a^3+b^3+c^3)=0

so a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc

Your teacher is choosing 2 students to run an errand for her. There are 12 girls and 10 boys in the class. What is the probabili

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 22 (12 + 10) total students in the class. That means that the chance of the first student picked being a girl is 12/22.

Now, we must calculate the chance of the next student to be picked <em>also </em>being a girl - however, there is a trap here! Remember that since a girl has been picked, the total student pool has decreased to 21 and and the total number of girls has decreased to 11. This means the new chance of girl being picked is 11/21.

To find the probability of both these events happening in conjunction, these fractions must be multiplied. 12/22 * 11/21 = 132/462, which simplifies to 2/7.

Answer:

y=-4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following two points: (-2,5) and (-1,1)

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through these two lines in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
