Answer:

7 Hours 12 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.

Anika [276]

Answer:

2.5°C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the average by adding together all of the numbers and dividing the sum by the amount of numbers. In this case the numbers are 10.4, 0, -2, -2.1, and 6.2. When you add these numbers together, you get 12.5. Since there are 5 numbers, you divide 12.5 by 5 and you get...

A swimming pool has an area of 2x² + 5x - 12. If the width of the swimming
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The are of a rectangle is computed using the formula:

A = L x W

The area given is:

2x² + 5x -12

So:

2x² + 5x -12 = L x (x + 4)

L=\dfrac{2x^{2}+5x-12}{x+4}\\\\

So we can solve this through division:

         <u>  2x - 3           </u>

x + 4 | 2x² + 5x - 12

       <u> - 2x² + 8x       </u>

                  -3x - 12

                <u>- -3x - 12</u>

                       0
