What is the time it takes Sanjay to complete the puzzle? 6 hours

What is the time it takes Felipe to complete the puzzle? 8 hours


We can use the general formula of rate and time to solve this problem. Generally we have,

<em><u>Rate * Time = Work/Job</u></em>

<em>** where Work/Job for this problem is 1 since they are doing 1 work, which is solving a puzzle</em>


  • <u>Finding rate of Sanjay:</u>

R(6)=1\\R=\frac{1}{6}

  • <u>Finding rate of Felipe:</u>

R(8)=1\\R=\frac{1}{8}


Working together, their rate is the sum,

Total Rate = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{24}.


Using the general formula again, we can find the time it will take to solve the puzzle when both works together.

(\frac{7}{24})T=1\\ T=\frac{1}{\frac{7}{24}}= \frac{24}{7} = 3.43 hours

Rounding the answer, we have 3.4 hours.


ANSWER: 3.4 hours

Which equation models a line that passes through point (-2,2) And has a slope of -8
trasher [3.6K]

So we will be using y=mx+b form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.


2=-8(-2)+b


Firstly, do the multiplication: 2=16+b


Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b



Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula.<br> y2-8y + 17 = 0<br> The solution set is
Slav-nsk [51]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is:

x=(-b±  √b^2-4ac)/2a

a= 1

b= -8

c= 17

x= (-(-8)±√64-4(1)(17))/2

x= (8±√-4)/2

now

x1= (8+√-4)/2

x2=(8-√-4)/2
