Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In  6  hours,  J  paints  1  room
So, in  1  hour,  J  paints  1/6 th of the room
Using similar logic, in  1  hour,  T  paints  1/12 th of the room.
Working together in one hour, they paint  (1/6+1/12) th =1/4  of the room.
1/4  of the room is painted in  1  hour
So,  1  room is painted in  1 1/4=4  hours
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The equation 5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation
The value of x is 8 or 1
<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>
The equation is given as:
5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Rewrite as:
-5/x - 2 + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Take the  LCM
[-5(x + 2) + (x -5)(x- 2)]\[x^2 - 4 + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Expand
[-5x - 10 + x^2 - 7x + 10]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Evaluate the like terms
[x^2 - 12x]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4 = 0
Multiply through by x^2 - 4
x^2 - 12x+ 3x + 8 = 0
Evaluate the like terms
x^2 -9x + 8 = 0
Expand
x^2 -x - 8x + 8 = 0
Factorize
x(x -1) - 8(x - 1) = 0
Factor out x - 1
(x -8)(x - 1) = 0
Solve for x
x = 8 or x = 1
Hence, the value of x is 8 or 1

Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to use the formula used in calculating direct proportion which is equal to:
y = kx
where,
x = speed of a processor in GHz
y = the cost in pounds
Therefore, y = kx
500 = 2k
Therefore, y = 2k
