Answer:
b = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3(b − 6) = 9
3b - 18 = 9
3b = 9 + 18
3b = 27
b = 9
This is a work problem. It can be solved as follows:
Houston = 1/x
Dominique = (1/2x)
Together = 1/5
Then, we add Houston and Dominique:
1/x + 1/2x = 1/5
Solve for x,
x = 2/15
Therefore, it would take 15/2 hours for Houston to ice by himself, the last option.
