Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+2−1/6x=1/6x−1−1/6x

1/3x+2=−1

1/3x+2−2=−1−2

1/3x=−3

3*(1/3x)=(3)*(−3)

x=−9 <- ANSWER

In 4 ​hours, an experienced cook prepares enough pies to supply a local​ restaurant's daily order. Another cook prepares the sam
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

9\frac{1}{3}hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let third cook take x hours to prepare the same number of  pies y alone

Let y be the number of pies

In 1 hour ,third cook prepare pies=\frac{y}{x}

One experienced cook takes time to prepare enough pies  =4 hours

In 1 hour , cook prepare pies=\frac{y}{4}

Another cook takes time to prepare same number of pies =7 hours

In 1 hour , another cook prepare pies=\frac{y}{7}

All three cooks take time to  prepare the same number of pies=2 hours

In 1 hour,all three cooks  prepare  pies=\frac{y}{2}

According to question

\frac{y}{4}+\frac{y}{7}+\frac{y}{x}=\frac{y}{2}

y(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{y}{2}

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{7}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{14-7-4}{28}=\frac{3}{28}

x=\frac{28}{3}=9\frac{1}{3} hours

Hence, the third cook takes time to prepare the same number of pies alone=9\frac{1}{3}hours

QUESTION
Lorico [155]
1. For this item we just refer to the prompt to know the conjectures of Ernest and Denise. According to Ernest, they should swim 1 kilometer on the first week then add 0.25km every week while Denise believes that they should swim 1 kilometer on the first week then add 0.5km every week.

2. Yes, these distances make an arithmetic sequence. It's because an arithmetic sequence is defined as a group of increasing or decreasing numbers where the difference between any two consecutive numbers is constant. This just means that every number has the same interval. In the case of their schedule, this is true.

3. For this item we just follow the descriptions of Ernest's and Denise's schedule in item number 1. For Ernest, we just keep adding 0.25 from 1 kilometer until we added it thrice. For Denise, we also keep adding a number thrice but this time it's 0.5 instead of 0.25.

Ernest's Schedule: 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75
Denise's Schedule: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5

4. Here we are asked to determine a formula that will describe the schedules of Ernest and Denise. In the given formula a_{n}= a_{n-1}+d, a_{n} refers to the next term in the sequence, a_{n-1} refers to the previous term, while d refers to the common difference. In the recursive formula all we need is to insert the value of d to the equations.

Ernest: a_{n}= a_{n-1}+0.25
Denise: a_{n}= a_{n-1}+0.5

5. For this item we basically do the same thing but this time we are given another formula. Our formula is in the form a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d where a_{n} is still the nth term of the sequence, a_{1} is the very first time, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference. 

Ernest: a_{n}= 1.0+0.25(n-1)
Denise: a_{n}= 1.0+0.5(n-1)

6. In this item we will just basically substitute numbers to one of the equations that we've set up in item #5. For this we need Ernest's explicit formula first. To know how far they will be swimming on week 10, the number of elements (n) must be 10.

a_{10}= 1.0+0.25(10-1)
a_{10}= 1.0+0.25(9)
a_{10}= 1.0+2.25
a_{10}= 3.25

7. Here, we just do the same thing as item #6 but this time we will consider Denise's explicit formula. Since we are also asked how far the students will be swimming on week 10, the number of elements would also be 10 and this would also be our value for n.

a_{10}= 1.0+0.5(10-1)
a_{10}= 1.0+0.5(9)
a_{10}= 1.0+4.5
a_{10}= 5.5

8. The answer for this question is obvious. You would just need to look at the 10th element in Ernest's and Denise's sequences and tell whose schedule had more than or equal to 5 as an answer. Following Ernest's schedule, you will just get 3.5 kilometers on the 10th week so it's definitely a no. Denise's schedule, on the other hand, would get you to 5.5 kilometers on week 10 so her training schedule should be followed.

6. what is the parimeter of triangle ABC<br>8. What is the value of x​
nalin [4]

<u>Answer:</u>

Perimeter = 20 units

x = 120°

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

We are given a triangle ABC with known side lengths for all three sides and an inscribed circle.

We are to find the perimeter of triangle ABC and the value of x.

Perimeter of triangle ABC = 2 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 20 units

The kite shape at the end is a quadrilateral which has a sum of angles of 360 degrees.

Two out of four angles are right angles and one is 60 so we can find the value of x.

x = 360 - (90 + 90 + 60) = 120°
