X = 42 - 19, so A - x = 23
1 = 11
2 = 79
3 = 3
4 = -4
5 = 0
6 = 87. Are the awnsers
M=-3.5+2t, R=-3t when they meet M=R so
-3.5+2t=-3t
-3.5+5t=0
5t=3.5
t=0.7 hrs (42 minutes)
Answer: It would take 9 hours for 4 painters to paint 720 feet of fence.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Calculate the time needed to paint the 720 ft fence with 2 painters.
a.) Divide 720 by 280 to get how many times greater 720 is than 280.
720 / 280 ≈ 2.57
b.) Multiply the time needed to paint the 280 ft fence with 2 painters by 2.57.
7 * 2.57 ≈ 18
2.) Calculate the time needed to paint the 720 ft fence with 4 painters.
a.) Assuming that each painter paints the same amount of fence, divide the time in half, as 4 painters is double the original amount, so it would take half of the time.
18 / 2 = 9
