Answer:

b) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Three machines  operating independently, simultaneously, and at the same constant rate can fill a certain production order in 36 hours.

To Find: If one additional machine were used under the same operating conditions, in how many fewer hours of simultaneous operation could the production order be filled.

Solution:

Let  the time taken by one machine to fill a certain production alone be=\text{x}

Time taken when three machine operate independently and simultaneously

\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{36}

\frac{3}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{36}

\text{x}=108 \text{hours}

Let time taken when one additional machine is used =\text{y}

Time when when one additional machine is used

\frac{1}{108}+\frac{1}{108}+\frac{1}{108}+\frac{1}{108}=\frac{1}{\text{y}}

\frac{4}{108}=\frac{1}{\text{y}}

\text{y}=27 \text{hours}

it takes 27 \text{hours} when one additional machine is used

Now,

fewer hours taken when one additional  machine is used

=\text{number of hours taken when three machines are used}-\text{number of hours taken when one additional machine is used}

36-27

9 \text{hours}

in 9 fewer hours of simultaneous operation the production order can be filled if one additional machine is used

Hence option b) is correct.

The right answer is Option A:x=\frac{rs-t}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is;

s=\frac{2x+t}{r}

We will solve this expression for x, therefore,

Multiplying both sides by r

r*s=\frac{2x+t}{r}*r\\rs=2x+t

Subtracting t from both sides

rs-t=2x+t-t\\rs-t=2x\\2x=rs-t

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{rs-t}{2}\\x=\frac{rs-t}{2}

The right answer is Option A:x=\frac{rs-t}{2}

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (1,3) and (8,5)?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

y=2/7x+19/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (5-3)/(8-1) = 2/7

Therefore, our equation so far is y=2/7x+b where we can calculate b, the y-intercept by plugging in one of our given points [I used (1,3)]:

y=2/7x+b

3=2/7(1)+b

3=2/7+b

21/7=2/7+b

19/7=b

Therefore, our final equation is y=2/7x+19/7
