X =0
Step-by-step explanation:
divide each term by 15 and simp
Let's say Bailey takes "b" days to paint it.
and Andrew takes "a" days to paint the same house.
now, Andrew is 6 times faster than Bailey, therefore, if Andrew takes "a" days to do it, Bailey takes then "6a" days, or b = 6a.
now, the year they worked together, they finished it in 7 days.
so, after 1 day then, they have only done 1/7 of the whole work.
and Andrew for one day, has done 1/a of the house, whilst Bailey has done 1/b of the house or 1/(6a).

First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3
We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.
5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.
Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.
6000/x would equal 4/15.
Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.
90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.
90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.
4/15 is the fraction by Jack
22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
Answer:
x = - 7, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 7y = - 7 -----> equation 1
- 10x - 7y = 28 -----> equation 2
Add equations 1 & 2,
7x + 7y = - 7
- 10x - 7y = 28
___________
- 3x + 0 = 21
- 3x = 21
x = 21 / - 3
x = - 7
Substitute x = - 7 in equation 1,
7x + 7y = - 7
7y + 7x = - 7
7y + 7 ( - 7 ) = - 7
7y - 49 = - 7
7y = - 7 + 49
7y = 42
y = 42 / 7
y = 6
