X=5, because if you do 5-4 it equals 1 and you take the absolute value which equals 1. X also equals 3 because 3-4=-1 but if you take the absolute value of -1 the answer is 1, which is equal to 1. So all in all, x=5, x=3. :) hope this helped

jean and mark are going to fill a pool with 2 different sized hoses. Jean can fill the pool in 8 hours, while Mark can complete

Bad White [126]

----------------------------------------------
Calculate Jean's rate
----------------------------------------------
Jean takes 8 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, she can fill 1/8 of the pool

----------------------------------------------
Calculate Mark's rate
----------------------------------------------
Mark takes 12 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, he can fill 1/12 of the pool.

----------------------------------------------
Calculate their rate if they work together
----------------------------------------------
Jean = 1/8
Mark = 1/12
1/8 + 1/12 = 3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24
They will fill 5/24 of the pool in 1 hour

----------------------------------------------
Find number of hours needed to fill up the pool
----------------------------------------------
I hour = 5/24 of the pool
1 ÷ 5/24 hour = 5/24 ÷ 5/24 of the pool
24/5 hour = Whole pool

Whole pool = 24/5 hours
Whole pool = 4 4/5 hours or 4.8 hours

----------------------------------------------
Ans: The supervisor is not correct, it will take only 4.8 hours if both of them work together.

If 1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = y, then x=?

yKpoI14uk [10]

$y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+\ldots \Longleftrightarrow y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}y$

$y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}y\\\\
2y=x+y\\\\
\boxed{x=y}$

The box is 2.1 feet long,2.7 feet wide and 3.2 feet high. What is closest to the total surface area of the box?

galina1969 [7]

So the actually surface area can be split up by dif parts....meaning
2 side is 2.7*3.2*2 = 17.28
2 side is 3.2*2.1*2 = 13.44
2 sides is 2.1*2.7*2= 11.34

then u add up the areas = 42.06ft^2

then u look for what is the clossest...and that is 42gt^2

anyanavicka [17]

The denominator is the same, so just compare the numerator. 3 is greater than 2, so 2/6 <3/6 :)
