Answer:

  • A: 13 1/3 days
  • B: 40 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If person A can paint the house in 'a' days, then person B takes 3a days. Each day, the total amount of house painted when they work together is ...

  1/a + 1/(3a) = 1/10

  4/(3a) = 1/10 . . . combine terms

  40 = 3a . . . . . . . cross multiply

  a = 40/3 = 13 1/3 . . . . . divide by 3

A can paint the house in 13 1/3 days.

B can paint the house in 40 days.

What is the reason for Statement 3 of the two-column proof?
Ivenika [448]

Refer to the attached image.

Given:

The measure of \angle JMK= 52^\circ and \angle KML= 38^\circ.

Also, Three rays ML, MK, and MJ share an endpoint M. Ray MK forms a bisector as shown in the attached image and the bisector divides angle JML into two parts.

To Prove: \angle JML is a right angle.

Proof:

  Statements                                                                                 Reasons

1. m \angle JMK=52^\circ                                            Given

2. m \angle KML=38^\circ                                           Given

3. m \angle JMK+m \angle KML=m \angle JML  

The reason for statement 3 is Angle addition postulate. As angle JML is composed of 2 angles that is angle JMK and angle KML. So by adding the measures of angles JMK and KML, we will get the measure of angle JML which is referred as Angle addition postulate.

4. 52^\circ+38^\circ = m \angle JML   Substitution property of equality

5. 90^\circ = m \angle JML                  Simplification

6. \angleJML is a right angle.      Definition of right angle

If the cube has a side length of 12 inches, what is the surface area of the cube?
Ne4ueva [31]
The equation for surface area on a cube is 6 * L^2, where L is side length. Essentially, six squares of equal size
12^2=144
6 * 144=864

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = -7/4 + 1/4x

+7/4  +7/4                 Add 7/4 to both sides

15/4 = 1/4x                Divide both sides by 1/4

15 = x
