The answer to that is 1.32
Hi there! :)
We can solve by setting both equations equal to the same variable.
We are given that M + A = 68 and M = A + 24. The easiest variable to set both equal to would be M.
Rearrange the first equation by subtracting A from both sides:
M = -A + 68
Now that both equations equal to M, we can set the two equal to each other:
-A + 68 = A + 24
Add A to both sides:
68 = 2A + 24
Subtract 24 from both sides:
44 = 2A
Divide both sides by 2:
A = 22.
Plug this back into an equation to solve for M:
M + 22 = 68
M = 68 - 22
M = 46.
Answer: 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Betty and karen have been hired to paint the houses in a new development. Working together the women can paint a house in two thirds the time that it takes karen working alone. Betty takes 6 hours to paint a house alone. How long does it take karen to paint a house working alone?
Since Betty takes 6 hours to paint a house alone, that means she can paint 1/6 of the house in 1 hour.
Karen can also paint 1/x in 1 hour
Both of them will paint the house in 3/2 hours.
We then add them together which gives:
1/6 + 1/x = 3/2x
The lowest common multiple is 6x
1x/6x + 6/6x = 9/6x
We then leave out the denominators
1x + 6 = 9
x = 9 - 6
x = 3
Karen working alone will paint a house in 3 hours.
