It takes them 1 7/8 hrs to complete the job together.

How:
Fred = 3 hrs
Jason = 5 hrs

1/3x + 1/5x = 1/x

3x x 5x = 15 —> 3x/15 + 5x/15 = 15/15

3x + 5x = 8x —> 8x/15 = 1.875 = 1 7/8 hrs

Which of the following sets of numbers could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
kicyunya [14]

Answer is C. 8, 3, 6

To answer this, you must know the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

The two shortest sides when added together, must be greater than the longest side.

A. 2 + 4= 6 which can't work since it equals the longest side of 6

B. 4 +2=6 The sum would be less than 8, which doesn't work

C. 6 +3 = 9 the sum is greater than 8, which makes it a triangle

D. 3 +8 = 11 11 is less than 12

Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age. Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain. How old is Blain?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The age of Blain is 23 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"

Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age

So we can frame a equation as:

age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)

a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1

Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain

Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16

b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

a = 2 + 3(a - 16)

a = 2 + 3a - 48

a - 3a = -46

-2a = -46

a = 23

Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old

Find two consecutive positive even integers such that the square of the first decreased by 64 equals 3 times the second.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

10 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive even integers be n and n + 2 , then

n² - 64 = 3(n + 2) ← distribute parenthesis

n² - 64 = 3n + 6 ( subtract 3n + 6 from both sides )

n² - 3n - 70 = 0 ← in standard form

(n - 10)(n + 7) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10

n + 7 = 0 ⇒ n = - 7

Since n must be a positive even integer then n = 10 and n + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

The 2 numbers are 10 and 12
