Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

The perimeter of the square can be represented by the expression 36x+44 robin wants to write an equivalent expression for the pe
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

4  (9 x + 11) is an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square is  (9 x + 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given The perimeter of the square  = (36 x+44)

Now,as we know :

PERIMETER OF SQUARE = 4 x ( SIDES)

Simplifying the perimeter expression.

Take 4 common out of the expression (36 x+44), we get:

(36 x+44) =  4 (9 x + 11)

⇒ Perimeter of the square  =  4 x  (9 x + 11)

⇒4 x ( SIDES) = 4 x (9 x + 11)

⇒ Each Side = (9 x + 11)

Hence, 4 x (9 x + 11) is an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square is  (9 x + 11).

Solve 3x – ly= 11 and -2x – 4y=-26 by elimination
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - y = 11 → (1)

- 2x - 4y = - 26 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 4 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

- 12x + 4y = - 44 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 14x + 0 = - 70

- 14x = - 70 ( divide both sides by - 14 )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(5) - y = 11

15 - y = 11 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

- y = - 4 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 4

solution is (5, 4 )
