Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.

Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.

Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.

7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)

14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x

x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0

x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51

6-√51 is an extraneous solution.

x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14

Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours

12x+40=15x+25 solve for x
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+40=15x+25

Subtract 12x from each side

12x-12x+40=15x-12x+25

40 = 3x +25

Subtract 25 from each side

40-25 = 3x+25-25

15 =3x

Divide by 3

15/3 =3x/3

5 = x
