Sally  ⇒
4 hours = 1 room
1 hour = 1/4 of the room

Steve ⇒
9 hours = 1 room
1 hour = 1/9 of the room

Sally + Steve ⇒
1 hour = 1/4 + 1/9 = 9/36 + 4/36 = 13/36

Number of hours needed ⇒
1 ÷ 13/36 = 1 x 36/13 = 36/13 = 2 10/13 hours

Answer: They need 2 10/13 hours.

The ratio of angle measures is 1:2:2. Classify the triangle by its angle measures. a.acute triangle b.right triangle c. obtuse t
HACTEHA [7]
Angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, so you could use this information to find the values of the angles. 1 + 2 + 2 = 5, 180 ÷ 5 = 36. 36 × 2 = 72, so 36 + 72 + 72 = 180. This means that the answer is A. acute, because all of the angles are below 90°. I hope this helps!

Solve for x: x^2+4x-5=16x
BigorU [14]
Solve for x: x^2+4x-5=16x
first take 16x from both sides of the equation
x²-12x-5=0
now we have a quadratic. we can solve it by using the quadratic formula
x=-b plus or minus the square root of b²-4ac all divided by 2a
where a=1, b=-12 and c=-5
plug these numbers into the formula
x=12 plus or minus the square root of 144-4x1x-5 all divided by 2
<span>x=12 plus or minus the square root of 164 all divided by 2
or in decimal form </span>x = {12.403124237, -0.403124237}

blondinia [14]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the total number of hours

Amazing design total charge = 45x+250

super structures total charge = 60x+100

both companies charge the same amount when both equation equals

45x+250=60x+100

60x-45x=250-100

15x=150

x=10

therefore at 10 hours both companies will charge the same amount
