Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Find the missing term and the missing coefficient 6a −( )5a =( ) a2 − 35a

andrew11 [14]

Solving for the missing term and the missing coefficient (6a − )5a = ( ) a^2 − 35a
Let the missing term be X
Let the missing coefficient be Y
Therefore, (6a – X)5a = Y(a^2) – 35a
6a x 5a – X.5a = Y.a^2 – 35a
30a^2 – X.5a = Y.a^2 – 35a
Equating co-efficients,
30a^2 = Y.a^2; X.5a = 35a
30 = Y; 5X = 35
Y = 30; X = 7
Therefore, (6a-7)5a = 30 a^2 – 35a <span>

What is the solution of the system?

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

(-2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply do this by plugging in all of the coordinates. (I did this in my head quickly, so I know what it is; I'm just going to plug in the correct answer.) The correct answer is (-2, 6), so we're just going to plug them into the simplest equation, which is probably y=-3x. So...

6=-3(-2)

6=6

This answer is correct. If you're unsure about the answer, you can always check in the other equation. So...

3(-2)+2(6)=6

-6+12=6

6=6

Hope this helps and have an amazing day ^^
