Answer:

If they work together, they take 48 minutes to line the football field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Reggie can line a football field in 120 minutes.  Rosalinda can line a football field in 80 minutes.  

To find : If they work together, how many minutes does it take them to line a football field?

Solution :

If they work together,

Let the number of minutes(x) they take to line the foot ball field.

According to question,

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{120}+\frac{1}{80}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{80+120}{120\times 80}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{200}{120\times 80}

Cross multiply,

x=\frac{120\times 80}{200}

x=12\times 4

x=48

Therefore, If they work together, they take 48 minutes to line the football field.

Answer:  If they work together, they can line a football field in 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Reggie can line a football field in 120 minutes and Rosalinda can line a football field in 80 minutes.

We are to find the number of minutes does it take them to line a football field if they work together.

We have

Time taken by Reggie to line a football field = 120 minutes.

So, in 1 minute, Reggie can line \dfrac{1}{120} part of the field.

Time taken by Rosalinda to line a football field = 80 minutes.

So, in 1 minute, Rosalinda can line \dfrac{1}{80} part of the field.

Therefore, if they work together, the portion of the football field that they can lie in 1 minute is given by

\dfrac{1}{120}+\dfrac{1}{80}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2+3}{240}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5}{240}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{48}

Thus, if they work together, they can line a football field in 48 minutes.

What is the value of x?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, thus

∠ A + ∠ B = 180, substitute values

9x + 8 + 8x + 2 = 180, that is

17x + 10 = 180 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

17x = 170 ( divide both sides by 17 )

x = 10
