Answer:
x/-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide by 5 and the denominator will be 5 meaning x would have to be 4.
Make sure your 5 is negative so the whole equation also ends up negative. x/-5=-4/5

Hey
Definition:-
A square root is a number which produces a specific quantity when multiplied by itself.
Example:-
Suppose the area of a square of side 6 cm is given by 6 × 6 = 36 cm².
Therefore 36 is said to be the square of 6. We write 6² = 36 and we read the ‘the square root of 6 is 36' or simply ‘6 squared is 36.'
hope this helps
Answer:
Bobby around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the problem it is important to raise equations regarding what happens.
They tell us that Billy (Bi) and Bobby (Bo) can mow the lawn in 60 minutes. That is to say that what they prune in a minute is giving as follows:
1 / Bo + 1 / Bi = 1/60 (1)
They say Billy could mow the lawn only in 20 minutes less than it would take Bobby, therefore
1 / Bi = 1 / (Bo-20) (2)
Replacing (2) in (1) we have:
1 / Bo + 1 / (Bo-20) = 1/60
Resolving
(Bo - 20 + B0) / (Bo * (Bo-20) = 1/60
120 * Bo - 1200 = Bo ^ 2 - 20Bo
Rearranging:
Bo ^ 2 - 140Bo -1200 = 0
Now applying the general equation
Bo = 130.82 or Bo = 9.17, <em>this last value cannot be because Billy took 20 minutes less and neither can he prune faster than the two together</em>, therefore Bobby only takes around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes
Checking with equation 1:
1/131 +1/111 = ~ 1/60
