Let's define the following variable:
 t = total time it takes to assemble a shelving unit together.
 We then have the following equation:
 1/5 + 1/3 = 1 / t
 Solving the equation we have:
 3t + 5t = 15
 8t = 15
 t = 1,875 hours
 Answer:

Sidana [21]

Answer:

We have the same homework!!!!

hours that passed= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(1st step)We start with the expression:

(1st)82-0.4x=78

"STARTED at 82 degrees" 82

"Cooling DOWN 0.4 degrees" -0.4

"EACH hour" x

"NOW 78 degrees" =78

(2nd step) We want to get the variable x alone, so we have to do the opposite sign they have, to cancel the number out for it to be 0.

(1st) 82 -0.4x =78

(2nd) -82 ÷-0.4 =78

(3rd)Now, you work out the problem (transfer the numbers from the left to the right). First, you have to do the subtraction sign, not sure why.

(1st) 82 -0.4x =78

(2nd) -82 ÷-0.4 =78

(3rd) 78 -82= -4

-4÷-0.4= 10

X= 10

there you have it!

To make sure this is correct, you do the following.

82 -0.4 x 10

Solve using PEMDAS

-0.4 x 10 = -4

its time to add 82.

82 - 4 = 78

78 is the exact temperature that was said in the problem

astraxan [27]

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles with (2x + 45) and x are supplementary angles, meaning they add up to 180°. We can write this statement as an algebraic equation of 2x + 45 + x = 180 and solve it.

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (2x+x)+45=180
  • 3x+45=180

Step 2: Subtract 45 from both sides.

  • 3x + 45 - 45 = 180 - 45
  • 3x = 135

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

  • 3x/3 = 135/3
  • x = 45

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 2(45) + 45 + 45 = 180
  • 90 + 90 = 180
  • 180=180

Therefore, x = 45.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
