It takes 20 minutes for 5 people to paint 5 walls.

1 answer:

5 0

It would take 36 minutes. If you use unit rate, you would take 20min/5people and see how many minutes does it take to paint one wall. Which would be represented by 4min/1person. To find how many minutes it would take for 9 walls, you get 4min/1person to become 9 people for the denominator. Then, whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. So, 4 times 9 is 36. Therefore, making the answer 36minutes/9people.

Factor the following expression <br> 10x^5+5x^3-14x^2-7-

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

C. (5x^3-7)(2x^2+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

10x^5+5x^3-14x^2-7

=10x^5-14x^2 + 5x^3 - 7 (By the commutative property)

=2x^2(5x^3-7)+5x^3-7 (Taking 2x^3 common from first two terms )

=(5x^3-7)(2x^2+1) (Taking 5x^3-7 common from both terms)

\implies 10x^5+5x^3-14x^2-7=(5x^3-7)(2x^2+1)
