On their way up the hill, Jack and Jill were stopped by their parents. It seems the two of them were trying to skip out on some

chores. They were told to mow the lawn, clean the kitchen, and sweep the leaves off the deck. If Jack can complete all the chores in 3 hours by himself and Jill takes only 2.25 hours to get all of it done on her own, how many minutes will it take for the two of them to get the work done together

Answer:

77.14 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's time = 3 hours

Jill's time = 2.25 hours = 2 1/4 = 9/4 hours

Combined time = x

Rates :

Jack = 1/3 ; jill = 1 / 2.25 = 1 / 9/4 = 4 /9

Combined rate = 1/x

Setting up the equation :

1/3 + 4/9 = 1/x

Lcm of 3 and 9 = 9

(3 + 4) / 9 = 1/x

7/9 = 1/x

Cross multiply :

7x = 9

x = 9/7 hours

x = (9/7)* 60

x = 77.14 minutes

Combined time = 77.14 minutes.

Answer:

point slope form: y-3=-\frac{3}5}(x+2)

slope-intercept form: y=-\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{9}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

so to find point-slope form, you first have to find the slope of the line

--slope =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{0-3}{3+2} =-\frac{3}{5} (you have to use the two points shown: (-2,3) and (3,0) to plug in for y1, y2, x1, and x2 to find the slope.)

so your slope is -\frac{3}{5}.

Now all you have to do is use one of the points (-2,3) to sub in for y1 and x1 in the point-slope form equation.

Therefore, you get y-3=-\frac{3}{5}(x+2) for point-slope form.

Now for slope-intercept form, you already have the slope because you found it to complete the equation for point slope form

slope = -\frac{3}{5}

Now slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, far we have y=-\frac{3}{5}x+b

the easiet point to use for the x and y values is (3,0)

so, lets substitute: 0=-\frac{3}{5}(3)+b, which becomes 0=-\frac{9}{5}+b

add -\frac{9}{5} to both sides to get b=\frac{9}{5}

Now you have both the slope and the y-intercept so you can now write the line in slope-intercept form.

You get y=-\frac{3}{5}x +\frac{9}{5}.

A triangle has side with the lengths 8x + 6, 5x -5 and -6x + 12. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
Verizon [17]
To find the perimeter you have to combine like terms. 8x + 5x - 6x is 7x and 6 - 5 + 12 is 13 so the perimeter of the triangle is 7x + 13
