I don't know if this is right but don't get mad I think it would be -5
z= 2y-4x ok i hope this helps.
Answer: 8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the time taken by each person to paint the fence.
Given: Tom and Becky can paint Jim's fence together in 12 hours.
Since all people paint at the same rate, then we have the following equation ;-

Thus, the time taken by each person to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Now, the time taken by all three paint together:-

Hence, it would take 8 hours if all three paint together.
Using the graphing you graph the two equations and then find the point where the two lines of the equation meet.
Hope this helps :)
<span>The correct answers are: #3) 72; #4) 40,320; #5) 90.
Explanation<span>:
#3) The number of possible choices are found by multiplying the choices of flavors and the choices of toppings:
6*12=72.
#4) The ordering of 8 cards is a permutation, given by 8!=40,320.
#5) This is a permutation of 10 objects taken 2 at a time:
P(10,2) = 10!/(10-2)!=10!/8!=90.</span></span>
