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

Answer:

The answer would be A/B=H

Step-by-step explanation:

To get rid of the B that is connected to the H, you would do the opposite of what they used. Meaning since the two were multiplied you would divide them. So, you would take your b and divide it on both sides of the equal sign. B and B cancels each other out so you are left with A/B which equals H.

Find the 12th term of the geometric sequence 8, 16, 32...
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

a₁₂ = 16384

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 8 and r = a₂ ÷ a₁ = 16 ÷ 8 = 2 , then

a₁₂ = 8 × 2^{11} = 8 × 2048 = 16384
