ANSWER
Paul and Matt will take

to install the floor working together.
EXPLANATION
First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took

to do the work together.
Then, the rate of working together is,

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

Simplify the left hand side


We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 0
y = 2
y = 7x
2 = 7(0)
2 ≠ 0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding the same number to both sides of the equation is an acceptable move. The addition property of equality tells Grace that the value of the variable will remain unchanged by such a move.
Her new equation would be ...
2x +20 +10 = 15 +10
2x +30 = 25 . . . . the result of Grace's move
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There may be very good reasons why Grace would want to do that. If solving the equation is Grace's intent, that move would be counterproductive. For the purpose of solving the equation, it would be more productive to either subtract 20 from both sides, or divide both sides by 2. These steps would give, respectively, ...
2x = -5
x +10 = 7.5
Y=mx+b
plug in the point
3=-1*-4+b
3=4+b
b=-1
y=-1x-1
Answer:43, 38, 33
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern is subtracting 5
63 -5 = 58
58 - 5 = 53
53 - 5 = 48
48 - 5 = 43
43 - 5 = 38
38 - 5 = 33
