Answer:

\frac{3}{r}+\frac{3}{8}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Working together, Sam and Charlie can change all light bulbs in the office building in 3 hours. It would have taken Charlie 8 hours to do the job alone. Which equation can be be used to solve for the rate 'r', for Sam to change all the light bulbs in the office building by himself.

Let Sam can change the bulbs in the office alone in 'r' hours  

Per hour work done by Sam alone = \frac{1}{r}

Let Sam takes he time to change the same bulbs in the office alone = 8 hours

Per hour work done by Sam = \frac{1}{8}

Since, Sam and Charlie complete the work together in time = 3 hours

Therefore, per hour work done by both = \frac{1}{3}

Equation for per work done by both will be,

Per hour work done by both = Per hour  work done by Sam alone + Per hour work done by Charlie

\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, equation for the rate 'r' will be,

\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{3}

\frac{3}{r}+\frac{3}{8}=1

Given the function f(x) = 0.65x + 117, what<br> s the x-value of the zero?
swat32

Answer:

x = -180

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = 0.65x + 117

-117 = 65x/100

cross-multiply to solve for 'x':

65x = -11700

x = -11700/65

x = -180

What is the sum of x + 9?
vovikov84 [41]
So 30/48=15/(x+9)
this could be easily solved by recognizing the proportion (the other way is usiing full  algebra and doing multiply both sides by 48(x+9) and then divide both sides by 30 then subtract 9)
30 is 2 times of 15
therefor 48 is 2 times of (x+9)
48=2 times (x+9)
divide both sides by 2
24=x+9
subtract 9
15=x

x=15

I believe that you are doing multiplication with this.

So…    9 x 3.65 = 32.85

Hope this helps. :)
