Answer:

OB=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides.

4x+5−5=21−5

4x=16

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=16/4

x=4

Answer:

OB: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5=21

Next step is to subtract 5 on both sides to keep it an equation.

4x=21-5

4x=16

Finally, divide by 4 on both sides for x to be alone and for it to stay and equation.

x=4!

There you go! Hope this helped, this is my first time answering a question! :p

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.
