Answer:

x = -27

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(5 • (x + 3)) - 4 • (x - 3) = 0

Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

5 • (x + 3) - 4 • (x - 3) = 0

Step 3 :

Equation at the end of step 3 :

x + 27 = 0

Step 4 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.1 Solve : x+27 = 0

Subtract 27 from both sides of the equation :

x = -27

One solution was found :

x = -27

Mia and Holly can clean their room in 20 min, working together. Mia, working alone, can do the job in 30 min. How many minutes w

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Option B. is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ denotes time taken by Mia alone to clean the room and $y$ denotes time taken by Holly alone to clean the room.

As Mia and Holly can clean their room in 20 min, working together,

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} =\frac{1}{20}\,\,\,...(i)$

Also,

Mia, working alone, can do the job in 30 min.

So,

$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{30}\,\,\,\,\,...(ii)$

Put (ii) in (i)

$\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{30}\\\frac{1}{y}=\frac{3-2}{60} \\\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{60}$

Therefore,

Holly can clean the room alone in 60 minutes.

Option B. is correct

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.

zloy xaker [14]

Rewrite in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, so that you can compare the slopes.

y = 4x + 6 m = 4

- 15x + 3y = - 45
add 15x to each side
3y = 15x - 45
divide both sides by 3
y = 5x - 15 m = 5

No, the slopes are different.
