Answer:
If x^2 = 1, then x = 1 is NOT true because x can also be -1.
The value of p would be 40. This is because the ratio of p:q = 10:5. this could be simplify into p:q = 2:1. Applying the ratio p:20 = 2:1, P=40.
<span>Faster maid DATA:
time = x hr/job ; rate = 1/x job/jhr
Slower maid DATA:
time = 3x hr/job ; rate = 1/3x job/hr
Together DATA:
time = 3 hr/job ; rate = 1/3 job/hr
Equation:
rate + rate = together rate
1/x + 1/3x = 1/3
Multiply thru by 3x to get:
3 + 1 = x
x = 4 hrs (time for the faster maid to do the job)</span>
