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}.

What values of x make the two expression below equal?
nasty-shy [4]
The denominator can't equal 0.
11(x-7) \not= 0 \\ x-7 \not=0 \\ x \not= 7 \\ \\ \\ \frac{(2x+1)(x-7)}{11(x-7)}=\frac{2x+1}{11} \\ \\
(2x+1)(x-7) \cdot 11= 11(x-7) \cdot (2x+1) \\
11(2x+1)(x-7)=11(2x+1)(x-7) \\ \\
x \in R \setminus \{7 \}

The answer is D.
