"Jake can mulch a garden in 30 minutes." So, for 1 min Jake can mulch 1/30 part of a garden.
Ross can mulch the park for x minutes. So, for 1 min Jake can mulch 1/x part of a garden.
If they work together, for 1 min they will mulch (1/30 + 1/x) part of the garden.
At the same time, we know, that of they work together they can mulch the garden in 16 min, so for 1 min they will mulch 1/16 part of the garden.
Now, we can write an equation
x≈34.3 (min)
Answer:
(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure if you meant the first equation to be y or -y. I solved it as y.
y = x-5 -x -3y =7
I am going to take the second equation and write it as x =
-x - 3y = 7 Give equation
-x = 3y +7 Add 3y to both sides
x = -3y-7 Multiplied each term in the equation by -1 so that x could be positive
I am going to substitute -3y-7 for x in the first equation up above
y = x - 5
y = -3y -7 - 5 Substitute -3y-7 for x
y = -3y -12 Combined -7-5
4y = -12 Added 3y to both sides
y = -3 Divided both sides by 4.
I now know that y is -3, I will plug that into x = -3y-7 to solve for x
x = -3(-3) -7
x = 9-7 A negative times a negative is a positive
x = 2
18 is the LCM
Hope I helped!
The distance is increasing at a rate that is the speed of the plane multiplied by the cosine of the angle between its flight path and the direct line to the radar station. That cosine is 4/√(3²+4²) = 4/5, so the distance is increasing at
440 mi/h × 4/5 = 352 mi/h
Answer:
7 x 3/9 = 21/9 = 2.33
11 x 2/3 = 22/3 = 7.33
4/9 x 3/8 = 4/9 x 3 / 8 = 4/3/8 = 1/6
7/9 x 4/5 = 7
/9 ⋅ 4/5 = 28/9/5 = 28/45
1 1/15 x 1/3 = 0.35
