We know that Bonnie complete her paper route in 45min. So, in 1min she can complete:

\frac{1}{45} of her paper route.

We need to know <span>how long it would take Jean alone, then we will call this time x. Working together they last 18min, so </span>in 1min they can complete:

\frac{1}{18} of the paper route.

The paper route working together satisfies the following equation:

\frac{1}{18} = \frac{1}{45} + \frac{1}{x}

Solving this equation:

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{18} - \frac{1}{45} =  \frac{45-18}{810} =  \frac{27}{810}
x = \frac{810}{27} = 30min

Finally:
It takes 30min to complete the paper route by Jane alone.

1) Solve for x.<br><br> x+23=−22<br><br><br><br> 2) Solve for a.<br><br> a+(−1.3)=−4.5
8090 [49]
X+23=-22
  -23   -23

x=-45

a+(-1.3)=-4.5
        
         or

a-1.3+-4.5
  +1.3  +1.3

a=3.2
