If Bob can paint the fence in 4 hours, then in 1 hour he gets 1/4 of the fence painted.  If Sarah can paint the fence in 2.5 hours, then she gets 2/5 of the fence painted in one hour (1/2.5 = 2/5).  We add those amounts together and set them equal to 1/x, x being the the total time it will take them to paint the whole fence.  1/4 + 2/5 = 1/x.  Find a common denominator first, then add the left side together.  5/20 + 8/20 = 1/x.  13/20 = 1/x.  Cross-multiply to get 13x = 20 and x = 1.54 hours, just a bit over an hour and a half.

(Writing Two-Step Equations HC) Given the equation 4x + 12 = 64: Part A: Write a short word problem about a purchase made to ill
poizon [28]

Considering the expression 4x + 12 = 64, it is found that:

A. The problem is that you purchased x fried pastry, costing $4, plus a chocolate and a soda, costing $12, and the total purchase cost was of $64.

B. The solution is x = 13.

C. The solution means that you purchased 13 fried pastry.

<h3>Expression</h3>


The expression is presented as follows:

4x + 12 = 64.

A possible context for this problem is:

  • x fried pastry are purchased, each costing $4, hence 4x.
  • A chocolate and a soda purchased, costing a total of 12, hence 4x + 12.
  • The total cost of the purchase was of $64, hence 4x + 12 = 64.

The number of fried pastry purchased is the solution to the equation, calculated as follows:

4x + 12 = 64

4x = 52

x = 52/4

x = 13 -> 13 fried pastry were purchased.

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths of 10, 30, and 31? If so, what kind of triangle is it?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The lengths of the sides can be 10, 30 and 31. This would be a scalene triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if it can create a triangle, we simple need to make sure that the value of one side is not greater than the other two added together. In this case, 10+30 > 31, which means it can be a triangle.

A triangle with no matching sides is called a scalene triangle. Therefore, we know it is a scalene triangle.
