Answer:

1 hour and 15 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Janet, an experienced shipping clerk, can fill a certain order in 2 hours, while Tom, a new clerk, needs 3 hours to do the same job, to determine how long will it take them to fill the order by working together you must perform the following logical reasoning:

Each of them will do half the work, so in principle, Janet will do her work in 1 hour, while Tom will do it in 1 hour and a half. Now, the remaining half hour that Tom has more than Janet can in turn be divided in two, with which each one will do their work in 15 minutes. Thus, the order will be ready in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Solve the system. <br> 3x+2y=-2 6x-Y=-6
Ipatiy [6.2K]
So we assume that x=x and y=y is true for both situations so

3x+2y=-2
6x-y=6



6x-y=6
add y to both sides
6x=6+y
subtract 6 from both sides
6x-6=y
subsitute (6x-6) for y in first equation
3x+2(6x-6)=-2
distribute
3x+12x-12=-2
add like terms
15x-12=-2
add 12 to both sides
15x=10
divide both sides by 15
x=2/3
subsitute
3x+2y=-2
3(2/3)+2y=-2
6/3+2y=-2
2+2y=-2
subtract 2 from both sides
2y=-4
divide both sides by 2
y=-2

x=2/3
y=-2
solution in (x,y) form
(2/3,-2)

 Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 4 x + 3 y = 5 and goes through the point (3, –3)
Allisa [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

the line equation

y = ax + b

gives us slope (a) and y-interception (b).

4x + 3y = 5

3y = -4x + 5

y = -4/3 × x + 5/3

the slope of the original line is therefore -4/3.

a perpendicular slope flips x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

so, the perpendicular slope of -4/3 is 3/4.

the desired line looks like

y = 3/4 × x + b

b we get by using the given point and its coordinates :

-3 = 3/4 × 3 + b = 9/4 + b

-12/4 = 9/4 + b

b = -21/4

so our full line equation is

y = 3/4 × x - 21/4

or

4y = 3x - 21

-3x + 4y = -21

When the points below are connected, they will form triangle ABC. Show and state whether this triangle has a right angle or not.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

See explanartions below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates A(-6,3) B(0,5) C(2,-1)

We first need to get the slope of AB, BC and AC

For AB;

A(-6,3) B(0,5)

Mab = 5-3/0-(-6)

Mab = 2/6

Mab = 1/3

For BC;

B(0,5) C(2,-1)

Mbc = -1-5/2-0

Mbc = -6/2

Mc = -3

For AC:

A(-6,3) C(2,-1)

Mac = -1-3/2-(-6)

MAc = -4/8

Mac = -1/2

Taking the product of Mab and Mbc

Mab * Mbc = 1/3 + -3

Mab * Mbc = -1

<em>Since the product of Mab and Mbc is -1, hence AB abd BC are perpendicular showing that one of the angle of triangle ABC is 90 degrees</em>
