Answer:

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Steve determines that it would take them 9 days to paint the house together (if they were both healthy) and that it would take Janet (when healthy) 16 days to paint the house alone.

We conclude that in 1 day Janet painted 1/16 of the house. In nine days, Janet painted 9/16 of house.

So, 7/16 of house paint Steve in nine days.

We have the following proportion:

\frac{7}{16}:9=1:x\\\\\frac{7}{16}x=9\\\\x=9\cdot \frac{16}{7}\\\\x=20.6

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

D)  

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 12x.

A) x=8, so that y = 12(8) = 96.  It's on the line

B) x = 10, so that y = 12(10) = 120.  It's on the line

C) x = 15, so that y = 15(12) = 180.  It's on the line

D) x = 18, so that y = 18(12) = 216, not equal to 206.  So, the point is not on the line.
