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

-5x-(-7-4x)=-2(3x-4) true?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

x=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-(-7-4x)=-2(3x-4)

-5x+7+4x=-6x+8

-5x+4x+7=-6x+8

-x+7=-6x+8

-x-(-6x)+7=8

-x+6x+7=8

5x+7=8

5x=8-7

5x=1

x=1/5

two angles are complementary. the larger angle is 6 more than five times the number. how large is the smaller angle?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

14 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles means they add up to 90 degrees.

If the smaller angle times 5 plus 6 equals the bigger angle, then:

14 x 5 = 70

70 + 6 = 76

76 + 14 = 90

PLS HELP ASAP!! ALGEBRA 9!!<br> 4.29-x+36=102-2.52x+2
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

  x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is :

4.2(9-x)+36=102-2.5(2x+2)

→distribute 4.2 and -2.5 in parenthesis

4.2(9 - x) + 36 = 102 -2.5(2x + 2)

37.8 - 4.2x +36 = 102 -5x -5

→  have terms with x = terms without x

Keep the terms you need the way they are, and move the terms you need on the other side of equal sign with changed sign.

4.2(9 - x) + 36 = 102 -2.5(2x + 2)

37.8 - 4.2x +36 = 102 -5x -5

 - 4.2x  +5 x  = - 37.8 - 36 + 102 - 5

→ Combine like terms

             0.8x  = 23.2

→ Divide both sides by 0.8

                    x = 29
