Answer:

Peter will complete the job in 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that  5 1/3 hours is  16%2F3  hours.

So, their combined rate of work is  1%2F%28%2816%2F3%29%29  = 3%2F16  of the job per hour.

Steven's rate of work is  1%2F16  of the job per hour.

Hence, Peter's rate of work is the difference  3%2F16 - 1%2F16 = 2%2F16 = 1%2F8  of the job per hour.

It implies that Peter will complete the job in 8 hours, working alone.

50 POINTS! QUICKLY Are the pairs of variables x and y the solutions to the equation x^2–2y=7?
Fittoniya [83]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{(5,8) \text{ and } (1.2, -2.78)}}

We are given the equation:

x² - 2y = 7

To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:

1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7

25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.

2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7

1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.

3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7

16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.

4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7

1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.

Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.
