Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation would be 2/(x-3) + 2/x = 1 derived from the work formula of T/A + T/B = 1; T representing total time working together, A/B respectively representing the two different rates of working. In the end Terry would spend 6 hours working alone.

Lori is three times as old as Michelle. In five years Michelle's age will be one half of Lori's age. How old are Lori and Michel
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Lori's age is 15 years old and Michelle's age is 5 years old now

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> Lori's age

y ----> Michelle's age

we know that

x=3y-----> equation A

(y+5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+5) ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

(y+5)=\frac{1}{2}(3y+5)

2y+10=(3y+5)

3y-2y=10-5

y=5

Find the value of x

x=3(5)=15

therefore

Lori's age is 15 years old and Michelle's age is 5 years old now

Which of the following expressions are equivalent? Justify your reasoning,
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

B:

Anything to a negative power means that it is 1/that to the positive power.

E.g. x^-1 = 1/x^1

In other words, anything to the power of a negative switches sides of a fraction (i.e. if in numerator moves to denominator and vice versa.)

1/x^-1 = 1/1/x^1 which is just equal to x, because there are x number of 1/xs in one (1/x * x =1) Therefore Option B is equal to just x.

D: (assuming the first given term is x^1/3 and not X1/3 (?) Correct me if I'm wrong).

x^1/3 * x^1/3 * x^1/3 is also equal to just x.

This is because when multiplying together terms with the same base (x in this case) the exponents just add together, so:

x^1/3 * x^1/3 * x^1/3 = x^(1/3 +1/3 +1/3) = x^1 = x.

Therefore B and D are equivalent because they both equal x.

Hope this helped!

Light travels at approximately 2.998*10^5 kilometers per second. There are 6.048*10^5 seconds in one week. About how many kilome
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

okay, you have pay special attention to time.i.e 60secs = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour, 24 hours in one day, and 7 days in one week. No. of seconds in one week we are told is 6.1048 x 10 ^5 seconds.  

Step-by-step explanation:

s = d/t [ speed = distance/time]

therefor, rearranging, we get d = s x t

Since speed = 2.998*10^5 Km/s and time = 6.048^10^5

d = (2.998 x 10^5) x (6.048 x10^5) = (2.998 x 6.048) x 10 ^(5+5)

d = 18.131904 X 10^10 km

d = approximately 18.132 x 10^10 km (to 3 decimal places)
