Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.
Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.
Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.
7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)
14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x
x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0
x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51
6-√51 is an extraneous solution.
x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14
Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours
Answer:
5 gifts
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
- Cost of one gift = $4
- Total money = $50
- Money left after purchasing gifts = at least $28
Let x = greatest number of gifts James can buy
Create an inequality with the given information:
⇒ 50 - 4x ≥ 28
<u>Solve the inequality</u>
Add 4x to both sides:
⇒ 50 - 4x + 4x ≥ 28 + 4x
⇒ 50 ≥ 28 + 4x
Subtract 28 from both sides:
⇒ 50 - 28 ≥ 28 + 4x - 28
⇒ 22 ≥ 4x
Divide both sides by 4
⇒ 22 ÷ 4 ≥ 4x ÷ 4
⇒ 5.5 ≥ x
⇒ x ≤ 5.5
We must <u>round down</u> to 5 as if James buys 6 gifts, he will only have $26 remaining. Therefore, the greatest number of gifts James can buy is <u>5 gifts</u>.
