Hello!

<em><u>Answer: x=34 or 34=x *The answer must have positive sign.*</u></em>

Explanation:

This question's it's about the adding the property of equality.

First, you add by 14 from both sides of an equation.

$x-14+14=20+14$

And then simplify.

$20+14=34$

$x=34$

Hope this helps!

Working alone, Henry takes 3 hours less than Mary to clean the carpets in the entire office. Working together, they can clean th

Sati [7]

Answer:

It would take Henry 3 hours to clean the office carpets if Mary were not there to help

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that it takes Henry t hours to clean the carpets

∵ Henry takes 3 hours less than Mary to clean the carpets

∵ Henry takes t hours

- That means add 3 to t to find Mary time

∴ Mary takes t + 3 hours

∵ The rate of Henry is $\frac{1}{t}$

∵ The rate of Mary is $\frac{1}{t+3}$

∵ Working together, they can clean the carpets in 2 hours

- Add the two rates and equate the answer by $\frac{1}{2}$ (their rate together)

∴ $\frac{1}{t}+\frac{1}{t+3}=\frac{1}{2}$

Multiply the two denominators and multiply each numerator by the other denominator to add the two fractions of the left hand side

∵ $\frac{(1)(t+3)}{t(t+3)}+\frac{(1)t}{t(t+3)}=\frac{1}{2}$

∴ $\frac{(t+3)}{t(t+3)}+\frac{t}{t(t+3)}=\frac{1}{2}$

- Add the two fractions in the left hand side

∴ $\frac{t+3+t}{t(t+3)}=\frac{1}{2}$

∴ $\frac{2t+3}{t^{2}+3t}=\frac{1}{2}$

Use the cross multiplication

∵ (t² + 3t)(1) = 2(2t + 3)

∴ t² + 3t = 4t + 6

- Subtract 4t from both sides

∴ t² - t = 6

- Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ t² - t - 6 = 0

- Factorize it into two factors

∴ (t - 3)(t + 2) = 0

Equate each factor by 0 to find t

∵ t - 3 = 0

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ t = 3

∵ t + 2 = 0

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ t = -2 ⇒ reject this answer because there is no - ve time

∴ t = 3

∴ Henry would take 3 hours to clean the carpets alone

It would take Henry 3 hours to clean the office carpets if Mary were not there to help

Working alone at their respective constant rates, machine A and machine B can fill a certain order in 3 hours and 6 hours, respe

ozzi

Answer: 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Working alone at their respective constant rates, machine A and machine B can fill a certain order in 3 hours and 6 hours, respectively.

Let t be the time taken by both of them working together.

Then, according to the question, we have

$\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{2+1}{6}\ \ [\because\ L.C.M. (3,6)=6]\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=2$

Hence, it will take 2 hours by the two machines .
