Answer:
Joe: 3 hrs
Janet: 6hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
joe takes x hours
so in 1 hr he does 1/x of the garden
janet takes 2x hours
so in 1 hr she does 1/(2x) of the garden
In one hour together they do 1/2 of the garden
1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/2
2/(2x) + 1/(2x) = 1/2
3/(2x) = 1/2
Cross multiply
6 = 2x
x = 3
Joe: 3 hrs
Janet: 6hrs

Let's say that the value invested in the account with a rate of 8% is "x", then the amount invested in the account with a rate of 12% is:

To calculate the total interest we need to calculate the interest of each individual account and sum them:

The total interest is the sum of the two expressions above:

The value invested in the account with 8% interest is 830, the one invested in the account with 12% interest is 1280.
Answer:
Functions: y = -x + 11, y = 2x^2 - 6x + 4, y = 7
Not Functions: x = 3, x^2 + y^2 = 81, y^2 = -5x - 12
