Answer:

It will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles if they work together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem:

Jackson's rate is 1/7

Martin's rate is 1/5.

The together rate is 1/x, which is what we want to find.

So

\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{5 + 7}{35} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{12}{35} = \frac{1}{x}

12x = 35

x = \frac{35}{12}

x = 2.9167

So 2 hours plus 0.9167 of an hour.

An hour has 60 minutes.

0.9167*60 = 55 minutes

So it will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles if they work together.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WE can use the following formula:

\frac{T}{X}+\frac{T}{Y}=1

Where "T" is the time time working together,

"X" the time for person X working alone and

"Y" is the time for person Y working alone.

Based on the data given in the exercise, we can identify that:

X=7\\Y=5

substituting these values into the formula and solving for "T", we get that this is:

\frac{T}{7}+\frac{T}{5}=1\\\\\frac{12T}{35}=1\\\\T=(1)(\frac{35}{12})\\\\T=2.9167\ hours

Since 1 hour has 60 minutes:

(0.9167h)(\frac{60min}{1h})\\=55min

<h3> </h3><h3>Therefore, if they work together, it will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles.</h3>

What is the simplified form of
umka21 [38]

<em>Note: Your answer choices remain a little unclear. But, I have solved the concept and solution, so you can easily figure it out.</em>

Answer:

\left(-7x^0+5x^2-x+6\right)-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)=13x^2-2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\left(-7x^0+5x^2-x+6\right)-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)

solving the expression

=-7x^0+5x^2-x+6-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)

apply the rule: a^0=1,\:a\ne \:0

=-7+5x^2-x+6-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)

=-7+5x^2-x+6+8x^2-x-3

simplify

=13x^2-2x-4

Therefore, the simplified form is:

\left(-7x^0+5x^2-x+6\right)-\left(-8x^2+x+3\right)=13x^2-2x-4

<em>Note: Your answer choices remain a little unclear. But, I have solved the concept and solution, so you can easily figure it out.</em>
