Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Nathaniel can weld 1 rail in 75 minutes, so he welds 1R = 75 min,  and Brenda can weld 1 rail in 50 minutes (25 minutes faster than Nathaniel), so she welds

1R = 50 min

We want to see how many minutes it takes them both, so we need to solve both problems for the minute unit

Nathaniel:  (1/75)R = 1 min   (he can do one seventy-fifth of a rail per minute)

Brenda:  (1/50)R = 1 min (she can do one fiftieth of a rail per minute)

notice, the equation is 1/(minutes it takes them), and we want to see how long it takes both of them, so we get the equation:

1/75 + 1/50 = 1/x

Simplify the left side with common denominator of 57(50) = 3750

We get

125/3750 = 1/x

We can cross multiply to get rid of the fractions...

125x = 3750

Divide both sides by 125 to solve for x...

x = 30, so it would take them 30 minutes to weld a rail if they work together.

Solve the inequality. Graph your solution. $$ - 5.3 x > 21 |
kobusy [5.1K]

The solution to the inequality - 5.3 + x > 21 is x > 26.3

In mathematics, inequality refers to a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. In other words, it is a relationship between two expressions or values that are not equal to each other. It is used generally used to compare two numbers on the number line by their size.

In order to solve the given inequality - 5.3 + x > 21, add 5.3 both sides.

- 5.3 + x + 5.3 > 21 + 5.3

x > 26.3

The solution means that the value of x is greater than 26.3. The solution is graphed on a number line.

Find the value of x.
meriva
I forgot the name, but there is a theorem that states that those two angles are equal. So if you do 94=5x+4 , you can solve that.

94=5x+4.
Subtract 4 from both sides
90=5x
Divide both sides by 5
18=x

Hope this helps :)

Answer: it is 29

its less than 30 becuse u would substutut  x for 30 so

4x30= 120

30+6=36

+

30

=

186 but u need 180

29

4x29= 116

+

29+6=35
