Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create 2 expressions that represent the cost with each company, where x is the number of hours.

Practical Perfect Painting will be represented by 25x + 125, since it is 25 dollars per hour, plus the prep work cost.

Excellent Exteriors will be represented by 20x + 150.

Then, set these equal to each other and solve for x. This x value will be the number of hours that make the cost the same.

25x + 125 = 20x + 150

5x + 125 = 150

5x = 25

x = 5

So, it will take 5 hours for the cost of the companies to be the same

Find the zeroes of the following equation:
weqwewe [10]

Answer:  \bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}

                both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}

Ten minus One-third of a number is 4
zloy xaker [14]
Ok, so you automatically know that you are subtracting 6 from 10 to get 4. So, in order to figure out how it is 1/3 of that number, it is going to be multiplied by 3, getting 18. So, the number would be 18.

Compare and contrast perpendicular bisected and altitude
elena55 [62]
A perpendicular bisector forms two right angles and splits the line in two equal parts.

The altitude does create two right angles, but doesn't have to create two equal parts.
