Answer:

40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you solve this problem!

We are given that Alison does 8 math problems in TWO minutes.

Considering this, we can conclude that Alison can do FOUR math problems in ONE minute. (That's pretty impressive, if you ask me!)

To recap how I solved this, I put 8/2 in simplest form, which left me with 4/1.

NOTE: Per 1 minute, Alison completes 4 problems.

By doing mental math myself, I concluded that my answer was 40 minutes for Alison to complete 160 math problems. I had to check it, though!

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 160 and 40 was 40.

I divided both terms by the GCF, which is again 40.

160 ÷ 40 = 4

40 ÷ 40 = 1

This brings us back to our improper fraction in simplest form 4/1!

Therefore, Alison will take about 40 minutes to complete a set of 160 problems.

I hope this helped you out! Comment below if I can help you with anything else! :)

Answer:

40 min

Step-by-step explanation:

find unit rateeee p=problems

8 p= 2 min

8/2=4

so Alison can do 4 math problems per minute

so 160/4= 40 minutes

hope this helps

If x-y=9 and xy=2,find the value of (x square + y square)

kati45 [8]

Answer:

x² + y² = 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the expansion

(x - y)² = x² + y² - 2xy , then

x² + y² - 2xy = (x - y)² ( add 2xy to both sides )

x² + y² = (x - y)² + 2xy ← substitute given values

= 9² + 2(2)

= 81 + 4

= 85

Rewrite (2x^2+13x+26) / x+4 in the form q(x)+r(x)/b(x) . Then find q(x) and r(x). In the rewritten expression, q(x) is_____and r

likoan [24]

The value of q(x) is $2 x+5$

The value of r(x) is $6$

Explanation:

The given expression is $\frac{2 x^{2}+13 x+26}{x+4}$

We need to rewrite the expression in the form of $q(x)+\frac{r(x)}{b(x)}$

Simplifying the expression, we get,

$\frac{2 x^{2}+8 x+5x+26}{x+4}$

Separating the fractions, we have,

$\frac{2 x^{2}+8 x}{x+4}+\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}$

$2 x+\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}$ -----------(1)

Now, we shall further simplify the term $\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}$ , we get,

$\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}=\frac{5 x+20}{x+4}+\frac{6}{x+4}$

Common out 5 from the numerator, we have,

$\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}=5+\frac{6}{x+4}$

Substituting the value $\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}=5+\frac{6}{x+4}$ in the equation(1), we get,

$2 x+5+\frac{6}{x+1}$

Thus, the expression $\frac{2 x^{2}+13 x+26}{x+4}=2 x+5+\frac{6}{x+1}$ is in the form of $q(x)+\frac{r(x)}{b(x)}$

Hence, we have,

$q(x)=2 x+5$

$r(x)=6$ and

$b(x)=x+4$
