Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours

Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3

Together they complete the job in 9 hours

Hence, let's represent the job as 1

9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1

Multiply through by (x)(x-3)

9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1

9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)

-27 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x +27 = 0

Can anyone please help me to find the area of this please
valentinak56 [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  √35 +3√7 -6 . . . square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be figured a number of ways. The figure can be divided into parts, and the areas of those parts added.

Or, the area of the enclosing rectangle can be found, and the rectangle at upper right that is not shaded can be subtracted from that. We choose the latter.

The overall width is the sum of the given partial widths:

  width = (√7 -2) + (2) = √7

Then the area of the bounding rectangle is ...

  A = LW = (√5 +3)(√7) = √35 +3√7

The area of the upper right empty-space is ...

  A = LW = (3)(2) = 6

Then The area of the shaded figure is ...

  √35 +3√7 -6

Math problem help me. I got it wrong I think
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation: After solving this equation using y=mx+b

I got y=-4x+7

So they give us the slope which is negative 4

so you would throw in the x coordinate with the slope and multiply to get y=-12+7

then you would use the y coordinate to substitute the Y

-5=-12+7

i add twelve on both sides and end up with the y intercept being 7]

so I add them into the equation and got y=-4x+7

crimeas [40]

Answer:

11x -8y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-4y=-4

-3x+4y=5

Subtract the second equation from the first

8x-4y=-4

-(-3x+4y=5)

-----------------------------

Distribute the minus sign

  8x-4y=-4

+(3x-4y=-5)

-----------------------------

11x -8y = -9
