X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0
</span>therefore the answer is A.
Answer: Add the equations to eliminate k
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding the equations, you get 2b=18, which you can solve for b. Afterward, you can substitute this value of b back into either equation to solve for k.
Answer:
A; infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
first, let's simplify the first equation to make it simpler.
divide both sides by 5
y=3x-8
new system
y=3x-8
y=3x-8
as you can see, they are the same.
not mandatory but useful!⬇⬇⬇⬇
just to be more clear, let's substitute them. since they're both already in y=, we can make them both set to each other.
3x-8=3x-8
add 8 to both sides; subtract 3x from one side
0=0
the answer is A, Infinitely many solutions.

It should be 3 because you are going to be using the formation of 3√ 3•3•3
