Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.

If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x} and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:

15x(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x}) and doing that gives us

5x + 3x = 15 and

8x = 15 so

x = 1.875 hours which is 1 7/8 hours which is also 1 hour and 52 1/2 minutes.

Line j is parallel to line k. Find the m
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

- 8.14 = m = slope

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the diagram that  8x-7  + 5x+18  = 180    so x = 13

  so 8x -7  =  97

slope = tan 97 = -8.14
