8x - 11 = -2x + 15 -5. What steps would you take to solve this?

1 answer:

8 0

Combine like terms. So that means combine the X's and combine the regular numbers.

- add 2x to 8x
- combine +15 -5
- then add 11 to that
- once you're done, find X by dividing 10x by whatever you have after the = sign

Select the correct answer. Sean and Colleen are raking leaves in their yard. Working together, they can clear the yard of leaves

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

$\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20} =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20)) =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0$

Solving the quadratic equation to get c gives:

c = -12 and c = 40

Since the time cannot be negative, hence c = 40 minutes.

It would take colleen 40 minutes to clear the yard of leaves alone
