Answer:
x^2+15
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a typical work problem in algebra. The approach to this is using the equation: Rt = 1, where R is the rate per person working, t is the amount of time worked by an individual. All their rates must equal to 1. The solution is as follows:
12/x + 15/x = 1
Solving for x,
x = 27 hours
So, if they work together, they can finish the work in 27 hours.
Answer:
6 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the first number(3/5 of the second number namely b)
Let b = the number that is 5/3 of a
a=3/5 b
Assuming they are both positive integers, obviously you will have to add 4 to a.
4+a = b
4 + 3/5 b = b
2/5 b = 4
b = 10
a=6
ONLY ASSUMING IF THEY ARE BOTH POSITIVE INTEGERS
that =
1-:30= 0.03= 3%
