A) Minimum at (5,3) because the 4 (a) and the b (in front of the x is 1) are positive, the relation will be positive. When looking at the h (-5) you must always consider it as if it was the opposite sign. So here it's negative so in reality it's positive.
7*(x - 7) = 126 <=>
x - 7 = 18 <=>
x = 25
It will take them 4.24 hours together to paint the area together
Step-by-step explanation:
If Emily takes eight hours to paint the area then she will paint 1/8 of the house in one hour
Similarly, if Mike can paint the same area in 9 hours, then he will paint 1/9 of the same area
Let x be the number of hours in which they will together paint the area.
If x hours are taken by them to paint the area then 1/x of the area will be painted in one hour
So,

It will take them 4.24 hours together to paint the area together
