Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12.
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.
The slope of the line is -2/5x
M< means to measure so I would measure
We need to use the Point slope formula to find the slope so we label
(2 , -8);(-1 , 16) subtract
x1 y1 x2 y2. y2-y1/x2-x1
16-(-8)/-1-2 = 24/-3 = -8
meaning the slope of this line is (-8)
