Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can break down the percent and the time into a fraction

You can divide it by 2

so 2%/1   (2% in 1 minute)

Then you find the amount of time it would take to paint the whole bookcase

2 * 100 = 50

So time to paint the whole bookcase would be 50

50 - 20 = 30

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

He paints 40% of the bookcase in 20 minutes.

The rest of the bookcase is 100% - 40% = 60%.

60% of the bookcase still needs painting.

40% is to 20 minutes as 60% is to x minutes

40/20 = 60/x

Reduce the fraction on the left side.

2 = 60/x

Multiply both sides by x.

2x = 60

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 30

Answer: 30 minutes

Solve the system of equations by graphing: 2x + 3y = 2 6x + 18y = 9
cluponka [151]
The answer is  A: x=1/2 , y= 1/3

Solve the following system:
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 1)
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+3 y = 1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 1/2 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:
Answer:  {x = 1/2, y = 1/3

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and -5, and whose leading coefficient is 2.
Rainbow [258]

\begin{cases} x=3\implies &x-3=0\\ x=-5\implies &x+5=0 \end{cases}\qquad \implies\qquad a(x-3)(x+5)=\stackrel{0}{y} \\\\\\ a(\stackrel{F~O~I~L}{x^2+2x-15})=y\implies \stackrel{\textit{leading coefficient of 2}}{2(x^2+2x-15)}=y\implies 2x^2+4x-30=y
