So, in order to solve this problem, I will set up an equation. First, let's make x= the # of hours it takes Mr. Itol to complete a computer task, and since his assistant takes twice as long, lets make 2x=the # of hours it takes the assistant to complete the task. We also know that it takes the two of them 6 hours to complete the task together. We can now set up the following equation:
Now, in order to be able to solve this, we have to find the least common denominator, and then we can cancel out the denominators to solve for the top part. The LCD=6x and the new equation becomes:
Now, we can get rid of the denominators, and we get:
So, x= 9
Now we know that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to complete the task if he were to do it himself. To find how long it would take his assistant to complete the same task by himself, we just need to plug in the x-value into 2x:
Therefore, your answer is that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to do the job alone, while his assistant will take 18 hours (double the time) to do the job alone.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the shape looks like a cube.. and maybe they say something about that outside of the picture, even but assuming that it is a cube, we know all the sides are the same.
we also know that the area of one side of the cube is 3
so multiply that
W x L = area
3 * 3
= area
10 = area
10.5625 = area
those two answer above are the same .. just one is in fractions and one is in decimals
there are 6 sides on a cube, so multiply the above answer by 6
6* answer = 63.375
63 ( this is your answer)
both of those are also identical , but look different for the reasons I mentioned above
use which ever from seems better to you. :)
