Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
<span>If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 </span>
<span>3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) </span>
<span>x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 </span>
<span>(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 </span>
<span>Solutions: </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span>x = 12 </span>
<span>Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.</span>
Answer:
<h2>k = 7</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(6,-2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the midpoint between two points is:
Now we substitute
We have than (9, -1) is 
and (3, - 4) is 
So:
So, we have:
<h2>(6,-2.5)</h2><h2 />
I can do a graphic explanation if you want.
Answer:
The final result is: n = 7/10 or n = 0.7.
I think
<span>To determine whether (−1,4) is a solution to the equation 3x+8y=29, substitute ...-1... for x and ...4... and for y.
In a pair of values like (-1, 4), the first coordinate, or entry, occupied by -1 always represents x.
Similarly, the second coordinate occupied by 4 represents y.
Answer: </span>substitute ...-1... for x and ...4... and for y.
