The first carpenter is 0.4464 of the way is ahead of the second carpenter

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Two carpenters are building a fence  

After 5 minutes, one carpenter is finished 4/7 of the way

Second carpenter finished 1/8 of the way

Now, let us find the work done by each carpenter

\begin{array}{l}{\text { For } 1^{\text {st }} \text { carpenter }=\frac{4}{7}=0.5714 \text { approximately. }} \\\\ {\text { For } 2^{\text {nd }} \text { carpenter }=\frac{1}{8}=0.125}\end{array}

Then, extra work done by first carpenter over second carpenter = work done by first carpenter – work done by second carpenter

= 0.5714 – 0.125 = 0.4464

Hence, the 1st carpenter is 0.4464 of the way is ahead of the 2nd carpenter

Solve the system of equations -x+ 2y = –11 and 5x – 8y = 39 by<br> combining the equations.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x=-5, y=-8. (-5, -8).

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+2y=-11

5x-8y=39

---------------

5(-x+2y)=5(-11)

5x-8y=39

---------------------

-5x+10y=-55

5x-8y=39

--------------------

2y=-16

y=-16/2

y=-8

-x+2(-8)=-11

-x-16=-11

-x=-11+16

-x=5

x=-5
