Patrice, by himself, can paint four rooms in 10 hours. If he hires April to help, they can do the same job together in 6 hours.

If he lets April work alone, how long will it take her to paint the four rooms?

-- The whole discussion involves 4 rooms, never more and never less,
so we can call the 4 rooms "1 job" for simplicity.

-- Patrice, by himself, does the job in 10 hours.  So he does 1/10 of
the job each hour.

-- Working together, Patrice and April do the job in 6 hours.  So when
they work together, they do 1/6 of the job each hour.

-- April's part of the job is (1/6 - 1/10) = (5/30 - 3/30) = 2/30 = 1/15 job per hour.

-- Her unit rate alone is  1/15 job per hour, or  <em>15 hours</em> per job.

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitly many solutions? Y=2x - 5 2y-4x=
Nezavi [6.7K]

Given:

The system of equations is

y=2x-5

2y-4x=?

To find:

The missing value for which the given system of equations have infinitely many solutions.

Solution:

Let the missing value be k.

We have,

y=2x-5

2y-4x=k

Taking all the terms on the left side, the given equations can be rewritten as

-2x+y+5=0

-4x+2y-k=0

The system of equations a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0 and a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0 have infinitely many solutions if

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

We have,

a_1=-2,b_1=1,c_1=5

a_2=-4,b_2=2,c_2=-k

Now,

\dfrac{-2}{-4}=\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{-k}

\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{-k}

\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{-k}

On cross multiplication, we get

-k=10

k=-10

Therefore, the missing value is -10.

A right prism has a triangular base. The length of the base is 6 meters and the height of the base is 4 meters. The height of th
NNADVOKAT [17]

The volume of this right prism that has a triangular base is equal to 108 cubic meters.

<h3>The volume of a right prism.</h3>

Mathematically, the volume of a right prism is given by this formula:

V = L x W x H

<u>Where:</u>

  • L is the length.
  • W is the width.
  • H is the height.
  • V is the volume.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Length of base = 6 meters.

Width of base = 4 meters. cm.

Height of prism = 4.5 meters.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

V = 6 x 4 x 5

V = 108 cubic meters.
