Well, their speeds are (

is Jack's speed, and

is Richard's.

They, together, can paint 12 houses in 35 days. To get a single house, we only have to calculate

which is very close to 3 (a bit below)
Answer:
b = -n/(2-S) -a
Step-by-step explanation:
S = n/2 (a+b)
divide both sides by (a+b)
S/(a+b) = n/2
flip the equation on the left (it is the same equation just negative)
-(a+b)/-S = n/2
divide both sides by -S
-a-b = n/(2-S)
add a to both sides
-b = n/(2-S) +a
flip the sign (multiply/divide by -1)
b = -n/(2-S) -a
Answer:
Yes there is (but we like to remove it)
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that x^1 = x, which represents x being multiplied by itself once, so you just have x. So, we usually take out the exponent 1 because it is not necessary since it's just the same as x.
Answer:
(0,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must arrange this equation into slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b form.
Equation: y-8=2x
Add 8 to both sides: y=2x+8
Now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, it is easy to find the y-intercept, as it is just the b-value.
In this case, the b-value is 8, so the y-intercept is (0,8).
Let me know if this helps!
