Answer:
It would take
or <u>4.24 hours</u> to oil the lanes if they work together.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Time to oil the lanes by Jimmy alone = 8 hours
Time to oil the lanes by Perry alone = 9 hours
Now, let the time taken by both working together be 'x' hours.
Part of the work done in 1 hour by Jimmy alone = 
Part of the work done in 1 hour by Perry alone = 
Part of the work done in 1 hour by Jimmy+Perry together = 
Now, total work in 1 hour is given as:

Therefore, it would take
or 4.24 hours to oil the lanes if they work together.
Hello person who is also from earth :)
6 - -4 = 10
Have a good day!!
Move the 8 over
-x=3x-8
Move the 3x over
-x-3x=8
-4x=8
Divide by -4
x=-2
There are m any examples of equations that equal 31. Here are a few:
17 + 14
30 + 1
60 - 29
I like this one though (its 2 step)
(15 x 2) + 1
Hope this helped :)
