You know that we have to simplify the algebra equation, so first you have to combine x and 2x. X + 2x equals to 3x. Now that we combined x and 2x which makes 3x, we have to do 7 and -8. 7 + -8 which equals to -1. Therefore, the answer to this algebra equation is 3x + -1.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:42.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Les get the big boi out of the way first. We see that it is 3.5 by 9 and if we multiply we get 31.5. Next left triangle 2 by 2 so four but divided by 2 is 2. God so many  2's. So total is 33.5 so far. Next triangle is 2 by 5 soo  10 divided by 2 is 5. total is 38.5. Last dude in the middle. We know one side is two so we have to subtract here from the triangles which gets u the other side of 2 so 4. Total is 42.5
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
We start with

We can factor x at the numerator:

So, assuming  (otherwise the expression would make no sense) we can simplify it:
 (otherwise the expression would make no sense) we can simplify it:

This equation has no roots, so we can't simplify it any further.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.
Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:
4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.
Whit this we can find the value of R.
R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.
a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:
5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.
We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:
D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16
D = 16
Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.
b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.
