Answer:

It will take the apprentice 24 days working alone

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days it takes the apprentice be x

It will take the landscaper x/3 ( since he is three times faster)

The rate for both will be 60/6 = 10 sq m per day

Rate for apprentice is 60/x

rate for the boss is 60/x/3 = 180/x

Adding the rates together;

60/x + 180/x = 10

240/x = 10

240 = 10x

x = 240/10

x = 24 days

Solve the linear system if 3x+4y-z=-6 5x+8y+2z=2. -x+y+z=0
Anni [7]
We are given with three equations and three unknowns and we need to solve this problem. The solution is shown below:
Three equations are below:
3x + 4y - z = -6
5x + 8y + 2z = 2
-x + y + z = 0

use the first (multiply by +2) and use the second equation:
2 (3x+4y -z = -6)  => 6x + 8y -2z = -12
                               + ( 5x + 8y +2z = 2)
                                  ------------------------
                                     11x + 16y = -10  -> this the fourth equation

use the first and third equation:
 3x + 4y -z = -6
+ (-x + y + z =0)
-------------------------
        2x + 5y = -6 -> this is the fifth equaiton

use fourth (multiply by 2) and use fifth (multiply by -11) equations such as:
2 (11x + 16y = -10)   => 22x + 32y = -20  -> this is the sixth equation
-11 (2x + 5y = -6)    => -22x -55y = 46   -> this is the seventh equation

add 6th and 7th equation such as:
   22x + 32y = -20
+(-22x - 55y = 66)
---------------------------
             - 23y = 46
               <span>   y = -2

solving for x, we have:
</span>2x + 5y = -6 
2x = -6 - 5y
2x = -6 - (5*(-2))
2x = -6 +10
2x = 4
x=2

solving for y value, we have:
-x + y + z =0
z = x -y 
z = 2- (-2)
z =4

The answers are the following:
x = 2
y = -2
z = 4
