Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Daniel does 1/9 of the job in one hour

let x = Paul's rate

Paul does 1/x of the job in one hour

They both do the job in 4.95hrs

(1/9)(4.95) + (1/x)(4.95) = job completion

multiply both sides by 9x

(9x)(1/9)(4.95) + (9x)(1/x)(4.95) = 9x(1)

4.95x + 9*4.95 = 9x

4.95x + 44.55 = 9x

9x - 4.95x = 44.55

4.05x = 44.55

x = 44.55/4.05

x = 11 hours i.e time it takes for Paul to pick the 40 bushels alone

If one point on a line is (-2,8) and the line’s slope is -3/2 find the y intercept
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The y intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3/2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation and solve for b

8 = -3/2(-2)+b

8 = 3+b

8-3 =b

5=b

The y intercept is 5

Now, look at the set of integers. Complete the table for the closure property if integers under the four operations.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition: closed

Example: -5 + 10 = 5, and -5, 10, and 5 are all integers

Subtraction: closed

Example: 10 - 8 = 2, and 10, 8, and 2 are all integers

Multiplication: closed

Example: -4 * 7 = -28, and -4, -7 and -28 are all integers

Division: not closed

Example: 5/2 = 2.5, and 2.5 is not an integer, although 2 and 5 are integers

The set of integers is closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication because any addition, subtraction, or multiplication of integers always results in an integer.

The set of integers is not closed under division because a division of integers does not always result in an integer.

Find the value of z - 13
leonid [27]

The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon, taken one per vertex, is 360.

z - 13 + z + 10 + z = 360

3z - 3 = 360

3z = 363

z = 121

z - 13 = 121 - 13 = 108

Answer: z - 13 = 108 degrees
