Answer:

Let's solve!

Step-by-step explanation:

FACTS:

- squirrel dug 4 fewer holes than the chipmunk

- chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug

- squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug

- each hid the same number of acorns

Solve [using the guess-and-check method]:

3 acorns * 16 holes = 48 acorns (chipmunk)

4 acorns * 12 holes = 48 acorns (squirrel)

The chipmunk (and the squirrel!!) hid 48 acorns.

Key:

w = 3 acorns

x = 4 acorns

y = 1 hole

z = total acorns

Chipmunk:

(w * 16y)

Squirrel:

(x * 12y)

Total equation:

(w * 16y) + (x * 12y) = z

Example:

(w * 16y) + (x * 12y) = z

(3 * 16) + (4 * 12) = z

|____| |____|

48 + 48 = z

|________|

96 = z

96 acorns is the answer when you use the equation to solve. Note: this equation combines the total acorns of both animals.

I hope this helps!

Carl can paint a room 3 hours faster than Jennifer can

Nata [24]

Jen take x hours.
Carl (x-3)hours.
Jen+carl take two hours;
This means;
In 1 hour, for they work
$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x-3}$
= $\frac{(x-3)+x}{x(x-3)}$
= $\frac{2x-3}{x(x-3)}$
Working together, they take two hours;
Take reciprocal of above equation and equate to two;
= $\frac{x(x-3)}{2x-3} =2$
$x^{2}$ -3x=4x-6
$x^{2} -7x+6=0$
$x^{2}$ -x-6x+6=0
x(x-1)-6(x-1)=0
(x-6)(x-1)=0
Take the bracket x-6=0 so that Carl works positive hours
x-6=0
x=6

I don't under stand what is wrong.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

In the first step, there is an issue when distributing the -3 to the terms inside of the parentheses. When multiplying the -3 to the -5, you would get an answer of +15, not -15.

The full correct process is:

(4m + 9) - 3(2m - 5) = 4m + 9 - 6m + 15

= 4m - 6m + 9 + 15

= -2m + 24
