Answer:

The answer to your question is a) C + J + S = 80

b) C = J + 5

c) S = 45 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To represent the number of hours that they work together, just add the variables and equal them to 80.

Carlito + Juan + Sara = 80

C + J + S = 80 Equation l

b) Juan worked 5 hours more than Carlito

Juan = Carlito + 5

J = C + 5 Equation ll

c) Hours worked by Sara

S = 3J Equation lll

C = J - 5

Substitute equation ll and lll in equation l to find J

J - 5 + J + 3J = 80

5J = 80 - 5

5J = 75

J = 75/5

J = 15

-Find S

S = 3(15)

S = 45 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent the number of hours that Carlito worked.

Let J represent the number of hours that Juan worked.

Let S represent the number of hours that Sara worked.

1) The equation that would represent the fact that altogether they worked 80 hours is

C + J + S = 80

2) The equation that would represent the fact that Juan worked 5 more hours than Carlito is

J = C + 5

3) Sara worked 3 times as many hours as Juan. It means that

S = 3J

Substituting J = C + 5 into S = 3J, it becomes

S = 3(C + 5)

S = 3C + 15

Substituting S = 3C + 15 and

J = C + 5 into C + J + S = 80, it becomes

C + C + 5 + 3C + 15 = 80

C + C + 3C + 5 + 15 = 80

5C + 20 = 80

5C = 80 - 20

5C = 60

C = 60/5

C = 12

S = 3C + 15 = 3 × 12 + 15

S = 51 hours

Sara worked for 51 hours

What reasoning and explanations can be used when solving radical equations and how do extraneous solutions arise from radical eq

Mkey [24]

Answer:

We know that, a 'radical equation' is an equation that contains radical expressions, which further are the expressions containing radicals ( square roots and other roots of numbers ).

In order to solve radical equations, we use the rules of exponents and basic algebraic properties.

The common reasoning to use while solving a radical equation is:

1. Isolate the radical expression.

2. Square both sides of the equation to remove radical.

3. After removing the radical, solve the equation to find the unkown variable

4. Check the answer for the errors occurred by removing the radicals.

For e.g. $\sqrt{x}-3=5$

i.e. $\sqrt{x}-3+3=5+3$ ( Adding 3 on both sides )

i.e. $\sqrt{x}=8$

i.e. $(\sqrt{x})^{2} =8^{2}$

i.e. $x=64$ .

So, the solution the the radical equation $\sqrt{x}-3=5$ is x = 64.

Further, we know that an 'extraneous solution' is that root of the radical equation which is not a root of the original equation and is excluded from the domain.

for e.g. Take $\sqrt{x+4} =x-2$
