Step 1 is to factor everything! 

After factoring you will get:

x-5 over (x+2)(x+5) times x+4 over (x-3)(x+4)

Step 2 is to remove the duplicate factors!
Remove x+4 and x+5

x-5 over (x+2)(x-5) times 1 over x-3 = 1 over x+2 times 1 over x-3 

Step 3 is to multiply the numerators and the denominators.

End result is 1 over (x+2)(x-3)

Answer: Our simplified form will be

\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{x-5}{x^2-3x-10}\times \frac{x+4}{x^2+x-12}

So, first we split the middle term of the denominator ,

x^2-3x-10=0\\\\=x^2-5x+2x-10\\\\=x(x-5)+2(x-5)\\\\=(x-5)(x+2)

Similarly,

x^2+x-12=0\\\\x^2+4x-3x-12=0\\\\x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\\\(x+4)(x-3)=0

Now, we put in our expression above:

\frac{x-5}{(x-5)(x+2)}\times \frac{x+4}{(x-3)(x+4)}\\\\=\frac{1}{x+2}\times \frac{1}{x-3}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

Hence, our simplified form will be

\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

joe and Eric have to ship 75 packages. Joe can do the job alone in 5 hours. if Eric helps, they get it done in 4 hours. How long
Umnica [9.8K]

Eric took 20 hours to do the job alone.

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

<u>Given </u>:

  • Total work = 75 packages
  • Joe took 5 hours to complete the total work.

The amount of work Joe alone can do per hour = 75/5 = 15 packages.

The amount of work Joe and Eric together do per hour = 75/4 = 18.75

The amount of work Eric alone can do per hour = 18.75 - 15 = 3.75

The time Eric took to complete the entire work = 75 / 3.75 = 20 hours.
