Given that <span>Jack rakes the yard in 5 hours and Jill rakes the yeard in 8 hours. Let the amount of time that it takes them to rake the yard together be t, then:

\frac{1}{t} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{8}  \\  \\ = \frac{8+5}{40} = \frac{13}{40}  \\  \\ \therefore t= \frac{40}{13} =3 \frac{1}{13}\ hours</span>

Solve the inequality 2x2 + 10x &lt; –8
BigorU [14]

Answer:

-4<x<-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we divide the whole expression by 2:

2x^2 + 10x < –8 → x^2 + 5x < –4

→  x^2 + 5x + 4 < 0

Factorizing

→ (x+4)(x+1) < 0

The expression is ONLY negative when:

x>-4 and x<-1

Therefore, the solution is:

-4<x<-1

A company mixes two kinds of cleansers to get a blend they sell for 59 cents a liter. One of the cleansers costs 50 cents per li
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:

  1. Let us express the question in terms of equations

Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.

Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

Equation 2: a + b = 2000

From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)

    2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:

0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)

1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180

0.3b = 180

b = 600

Substitute in equation 3:

a = 2000 - 600

a = 1400

As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.

Help pls!!!!! Brainliest goes to first right answer
zepelin [54]

Answer:

96 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 shapes,

1. a square

2. a triangle

lets find the area of the square first,

<u>AREA = SIDE × SIDE</u>

= 8 × 8

= 64 inch²

now, area of triangle ,

area \:  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times base \:  \times height \:

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 8 \times 8 \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 64 \\  = 32 \:  {inch}^{2}

so, total area is :

area of square + area of triangle

= 64 + 32

= 96 inch²

svlad2 [7]

We know that distance = rate(time). We need to solve for time here.

d = rt\\90 = 45t\\t = \frac{90}{45}\\t = 2


The car took 2 hours to travel 90 miles at a speed of 45 mi/hr
