$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-3-1}{2-3}\implies \cfrac{-4}{-1}\implies 4$

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.
