Paul can build a desk in 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much of the desk each person can finish in 1 hour. Paul can finish 1/12 because he finishes the whole thing in 12 hours and Shawn can finish 1/8 because he finishes the whole thing in 8 hours.

Then find a common denominator and add those together to find how much they could do together in 1 hour.

2/24 + 3/24 = 5/24 So they can finish 5/24 of the desk in 1 hour if they work together.

So to finish 24/24 of the desk, they'll need to do 4 hours (20/24 of the desk) and 48 minutes (4/24 of the desk)

It asked for the number of minutes, so multiply 4 by 60 and add 48 to find the total number of minutes. 4*60 = 240 and 240 + 48 = 288

So it will take them 288 minutes to build the desk together.

What happens to the value of the expression 150-j150−j150, minus, j as jjj decreases?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The value of the expression increases as j decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(j) = 150 - j150 - j150

f(j) = 150 - j300

As j decreases, the value of j300 decreases (i.e the farther j300 is from 150). Due to the wider gap between 150 and j300, the value of f(j) increases.

For example:

When j = 1, f(j) = 150 - (300*1) = -150

When j = 0.5, f(j) = 150 - (300*0.5) = 0

When j = 0. f(j) = 150 - (300*0) = 150

It is obvious from the analogy above that the expression 150-j150−j150 increases as j decreases

1) -3x -3 -7x = 17
• start by grouping so add -3x and -7x which gives you -10x
• 10x -3 (+3) = 17 +3 = 20 add 3 on both sides)
• 10x (/10) = 20/ 10 = 2
1) x = 2

2) 10x -6 (+6) = 24 + 6 = 30
• 10x (/10) = 30/ 10 = 3
2) x = 3

3) -4 (+4) -5x = -39 +4 = -35
• -5x (/-5) = -35/ -5 = 7
3) x = 7

4) 3x - 5 > 10
this one i don’t understand, is there a typo maybe ?

5) -5x + x + 16 = -3 you can put a 1 to hold the place of x to make it 1x
• (-5x + 1x) + 16 = -3
• -4x + 16 (-16) = -3 -16 = -19
• -4x (/-4) = -19/ -4 = 4.75 or 4 3/4
5) x = 4.75
