Two groups of staff at a store are making flowers to decorate the entrance. If Group A were to do it alone, it would take them 1

0 hours to complete the task. If Group B were to do it alone it would take them 15 hours. The groups decided to work together. Group B took a break for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Group A ended up making 300 more flowers than Group B. HOW MANY FLOWERS ARE THERE ALTOGETHER?

Answer:

\dfrac{6750}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowers. If Group A were to make x flowers alone, it would take them 10 hours to complete the task, then they make \dfrac{x}{10} flowers in an hour.  If Group B were to make x flowers alone, it would take them 15 hours to complete the task, then they make \dfrac{x}{15} flowers in an hour.

The groups decided to work together. They can make \dfrac{x}{10}+\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{x}{6} together in an hour and it takes them \dfrac{x}{\frac{x}{6}}=6 hours. Group B took a break for 1 hour and 40 minutes (1\dfrac{2}{3} hour), then Group B works

6-1\dfrac{2}{3}=4\dfrac{1}{3} hours.

Thus,

\dfrac{x}{10}\cdot 6-\dfrac{x}{15}\cdot 4\dfrac{1}{3}=300,\\ \\\dfrac{3x}{5}-\dfrac{13x}{45}=300,\\ \\14x=300\cdot 45=13500,\\ \\x=\dfrac{13500}{14}=\dfrac{6750}{7}.

Given: x - 5 > -2. Choose the solution set. {x | x R, x > -7} {x | x R, x > -3} {x | x R, x > 3} {x | x R, x > 7}
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

{x | x ∈ R, x > 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following inequality:

x - 5 > -2

In order to find the solution, we have to isolate the x on one side. This can be done by adding 5 to both sides of the inequality as shown below:

x - 5 + 5 > -2 + 5

x > 3

So the solution of the inequality is set of all numbers where x > 3. This is represented by 3rd option.

So, {x | x ∈ R, x > 3} is the answer.

Solve this system using matrices:
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form

a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)

a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)

.

am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)

Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the

xi

’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of

the form constant × x

Solving Linear Systems of Equations

We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear

equations.

Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.

x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)

x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)

2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)

We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1

in terms of x2 and x3

x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)

1

and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations

(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5

(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1

A table is set for dinner. can the legs of the table and the top of the table lie in parallel planes
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

the legs of a table are perpendicular the top of the table because they intersect at 90° since they are perpendicular, they clearly intersect, so they cannot lie in parallel planes
