Answer:

2.4 hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack mows 1/6 of the lawn per hour while Marilyn mows 1/4 of the lawn together. Adding up those rates yields in their combined mowing rate:

R = \frac{1}{6}+ \frac{1}{4}\\R=\frac{10}{24}

The time required for them to mow the entire lawn is:

t = \frac{1}{R}\\t = \frac{1*24}{10}\\ t=2.4\ hours

It would take them both 2.4 hours to mow the lawn together.

1,-2,3,-4,5... <br><br> what’s the next two numbers in the pattern?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5...  are -6 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

index:   1   2   3   4   5 ....

value:    1  -2  3  -4   5

Let the index be n.  Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.

a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)

a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1)   =  3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)

a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1)    = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)

So the general formula for a(n)  is:    a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)

Thus,

a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5

a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6

a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7

The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7.  The first 7 numbers are

1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7

How many solutions exist for the system of equations graphed below?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

one

Step-by-step explanation:

When a system of equations is graphed, the solution is the coordinate that is plotted at the intersection of the two lines.

If the two lines cross once, there is only one solution.

If the two lines are on top of each other then there are infinitely many solutions.

If the two lines are parallel ( and never touch ) then there are no solutions

By looking at the graph we notice the two lines intersect once. So we can conclude that there is only one solution.

Solve for x.
Doss [256]

Answer:

x= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to distribute each side! (you're gonna wanna learn this because you will be having to do it for the next 3 years no joke it sucks)

7(x+2) can be distributed as 7x+14 after multiplying 7 times x and 7 times 2, and 6(x+5) can be distributed as 6x+30.

Now, you have to get the x on one side to solve for x (so like x=__).

To do this, look at the equation as of now. 7x+14=6x+30.

We can minus 14 and bring that to the right, and minus 6x and bring that to the left to separate the x's and the regular numbers.

Now we have  16=x (or x=16).

How to find A? help please and thanks
MrRa [10]
This problem exercises the concept of "similar triangles."

With similar triangles, we can compare the sides using ratios.
The equation we can use to find side A is stated below.

Side 1A / Side 1B = Side 2A / Side 2B

The number refers to the triangle, and the letter refers to the side of each triangle. Side A in both triangles must be the base of the triangle, and side B in both triangles can be either of the other sides. The only restriction is that once we pick a side B on triangle 1, we must pick that same side on triangle 2.

A / 7 = 3 / 2

Then we can solve for the length of side A.

A = 7*3/2 = 21/2 = (E) None of These
