The time it takes them working together to paint the room is 3.08 hours
<h3>Rational expression</h3>
Rational expression are equation written as a ratio of two expressions or equations.
If Wes can paint a certain room in 8 hours, she can paint 1/8 of the room in 1 hr
Similarly, if Sally can paint the same room in 5 hours, , she can paint 1/5 of the room in 1 hr
Determine the time it takes them to paint the room altogether.
Time together = x
Using the expression below to determine the value of x
1/x = 1/8 + 1/5
1/x = 5+8/40
1/x = 13/40
x = 40/13
x = 3.08
Hence the time it takes them working together to paint the room is 3.08 hours

Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting into vertex form, the equation is:
y = a(x-3)^2 + 5
The y-intercept is when x=0, so substituting this in,
1=a(0-3)^2 + 5
-4 = 9a
a=-4/9
Answer:
1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
because if you share/divide 1/5 by 5 then every dog will get 1/10
When y=6, then in equation 7y=8x-14 we write 6 instead of y:
7×6=8x-14
42=8x -14
8x-14=42 (now we add 14 to both sides of equation)
8x=56 (now we divide by 8 both sides of equation)
x=7
Answer: x=7
