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

Can you help me with this??<br> please explain

Hello!

We separate this into three sections

we are looking for a graph that has a line where x is greater than -3 and less than -2 while the circles not shaded since it does have the or equal to sign

The graphs that have this is the first and the third

Next we can look for the graph that has x greater than or equal to -2 and less than 3 with the one at -2 shaded but the one at 3 not

The graph that follows this is the third graph

The answer is the third one

Hope this helps!

If the given values in a right triangle are cos A =
Vlad1618 [11]
See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²---->  equation 1

applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2

the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2

Help ASAP. Can somebody please tell if this is the correct answer. If not put the correct answer And help me if I need to graph
RSB [31]

Answer: closed circle pointing to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the inequality equation is

6 ( 2 - 3y ) < = 36

Open the bracket

12 - 18y < = 36

Collect the like terms

- 18y < = 36 - 12

Make y the subject of formula

The inequality sign will change the moment you multiply or divide both sides by negative numbers

Y > = - 24/18

Y > = - 4/3

That is y is greater than or equal to negative 4/3

Graphing the above inequality,

The point will be between -2 and -1. And it will be closer to -1.

The arrow will point to the right and it will be a closed circle since it is greater than or equal to.
