Answer:

15.1667 hours (15 hours and 10 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the concept of "distance = speed * time", we can formulate equations to solve this problem.

Let's call Leon's speed X, Michael's speed Y and the length of the driveway D.

If leon takes 13 hours alone, we can write the equation:

D = X * 13

If Michael helps Leon, we have this equation:

D = (X+Y) * 7

(The total speed is the sum of their speed, as they are working together)

Making the first equation equate the second, we have:

13*X = 7*X + 7*Y

7*Y = 6*X

X = (7/6)*Y

If we use this value of X in the first equation, we have:

D = 13*X = 13*(7/6)*Y = 15.1667*Y

So we have that Michael would take 15.1667 hours (15 hours and 10 minutes) to seal the driveway alone.

A number plus itself, plus twice itslef, plus 4 times itself, is equal to -104. what is the number?
Nutka1998 [239]
Let's represent this unknown number with the variable 'n'
n + n + 2n + 4n = -104

Explanations:
'n+n' - a number plus itself
'+2n' - plus twice itself
'+4n' - plus 4 times itself


Anyway:
n + n + 2n + 4n = -104
Simplify:
8n = -104
Divide both sides by 8:
n = -13

The number is -13
Good luck! If you need me to explain something in more depth, just ask :))

Simplify this rational expression. 2x^2+5x+3/2x^2-x-3
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2x+3/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly we make two steps to simplify this question.

1st step: simplify 2x^{2} +5x+3

to simplify this we use factorization

2x^{2} +2x+3x+3

2x(x+1) +3(x+1)

(2x+3) (x+1)        .....(1)

2nd step:simplify 2x^{2} -x-3

2x^{2} +2x-3x-3

2x(x+1)-3(x+1)

(2x-3)(x+1)          .....(2)

now dividing (1) and  (2), we get the answer

2x+3/2x-3
