Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

John can mow the same lawn in 3 hours.

In 1 hour he can mow 1/3rd of the lawn.

In 1 hour they can together mow (1/2+1/3)=5/6th of the lawn.

Together they can mow the lawn in 6/5 hours=1.2 hours.

I hope this helped, please mark Brainliest, thank you!!

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer:

First option: $3x^2-5x=-8$

Second option: $2x^2=6x-5$

Fourth option: $-x^2-10x=34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite each equation in the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ and then use the Discriminant formula for each equation. This is:

$D=b^2-4ac$

1) For $3x^2-5x=-8$ :

$3x^2-5x+8=0$

Then:

$D=(-5)^2-4(3)(8)=-71$

Since $D$ this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

2) For $2x^2=6x-5$ :

$2x^2-6x+5=0$

Then:

$D=(-6)^2-4(2)(5)=-4$

Since $D$ this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

3) For $12x=9x^2+4$ :

$9x^2-12x+4=0$

Then:

$D=(-12)^2-4(9)(4)=0$

Since $D=0$ this equation has one real solution.

4) For $-x^2-10x=34$ :

$-x^2-10x-34=0$

Then:

$D=(-10)^2-4(-1)(-34)=-36$

Since $D$ , this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.
