The correct answer is B. This may seem tricky at first, but if you will notice how the units are marked, they are marked by 2s. Therefore the first figure moves down 5 blocks and over 4 blocks.
Answer: This question cannot be answered.
Explanation:
If you add three odd numbers, the sum must also be an odd number. To get an even number, you have to add an even number of odd numbers, e.g. 2 or 4. Adding 3 odd numbers to get 30 is therefore not possible. So the question cannot be answered.
Always use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find a line’s slope, given two points:
(-1- -8)/(4-5) = 7/-1 = -7
-7 is the slope
set it up like a y= equation.
which would be y=-x^2+7
to find the vertex, you substitute the 0s.
so 0=-(0)^2+7
-0^2=0
0+7=7
0=7
(0,7)
Best Answer: Bill's time to do the whole job, B
Jeff's time, B + 5
time they actually work, 6.
6/B + 6/(B+5) = 1
6(B+5) + 6B = B(B+5)
6B + 30 + 6B = B² + 5B
B² - 7B - 30 = 0
(B - 10)(B + 3) = 0
B = 10 or B = -3, and we reject the negative solution.
the equation is based on adding the fractions of the whole job each does. if Bill takes B hours to do the whole thing and works 6, he does 6/B of the job. similarly for Jeff.
in the 2nd problem,
a = time of experienced accountant
2a = time of new accountant
10 = time each actually works
10/a + 10/(2a) = 1 ........ multiply all by a
10 + 5 = a
a = 15 hr.
