Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7.-12) and (-9,36)?​
REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope where

m = rise / run

rise = y2 - y1  

run = x2 - x1

where  

the given point P1 = (7, -12)

and is in the form of (x1,y1)  

and

the given point P2 = (-9,36)  

is  in   the   form  of   (x2,y2)

then

m =  ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( 36 - (-12) ) / ( -9 -7 )

m = ( 36 + 12 ) /  ( - 16 )

m =  48 /  - 16

m = - 3

the slope is negative 3

slope = - 3

How many solutions does this equation have?<br><br> –10q = –10q − 7
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

None (no solutions)

Step-by-step explanation:

-10q=-10q-7 (add 10q to both sides to get the costant 7 by itself)

-10q+10q=-10q+10q-7

0=-7 ( zero will never equal -7 hence there are no solutions to this equation)
