Answer:

The time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone is 15 minutes

The time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone is 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn = 9 minutes faster than the first kitten working alone

The time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn = 4 minutes faster than the second kitten working alone

Let 'x' represent the time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, let 'y' represent the time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, and let 't' represent the time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn we have;

x = t + 9

y = t + 4

The rate of working, per ball of yarn, of the first kitten = 1/x = 1/(t + 9)

The rate of working, per ball of yarn, of the second kitten = 1/y = 1/(t + 4)

The amount of work each kitten does in the time 't', added together to unwind 1 ball of yarn is given as follows;

t/(t + 9) + t/(t + 4) = 1

(t·(t +4) + t·(t + 9))/(t + 4)×(t + 9) = 1

Using a graphing calculator, we have;

(2·t²+13·t)/(t² + 13·t + 36) = 1

∴ (2·t² + 13·t) = (t² + 13·t + 36)

(2·t² + 13·t) - (t² + 13·t + 36) = 0

t² - 36 = 0

t = √36 = 6

t = 6

x = t + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15

The time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, x = 15 minutes

y = t + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

The time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, y = 10 minutes

689x+47x-89 dose anyone know how to solve this?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

736x-89

Step-by-step explanation:

i think all you can do here is add the numbers that have an X in them so adding 689x+47x=736x and you leave the 89 so it becomes 736x-89

How you would estimate to subtract 189 from 643
sleet_krkn [62]
Estimate 189 to the nearest tenth which would be 190. And then do the same for 643 which would be 640. 640-190= 450
