Answer: 12\ \text{min}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 20 min and 30 min for  a person and his friend to paint a wall individually  i.e.

In 1 min they cover \frac{1}{20} part and \frac{1}{30} part of wall respectively.

If the work together, 1 minute work is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{60}

Time required will be reciprocal of it

\Rightarrow \dfrac{60}{5}=12\ \text{min}

Stella [2.4K]
She worked for five hours on Saturday.

Step by step: 3 hours × $6.50= $19.50

then take the amount of money she made in total and subtract what she made on Friday to find how much she made on Saturday

$52 - $19.50= $32.50

Now take how much she made on Saturday and divide that by $6.50 to find how many hours she worked on Saturday

$32.50 ÷ $6.50= 5 hours

What is the result of substituting for yin the bottom equation? y=x+3 y= x^2 + 2x - 4​
marta [7]

Answer:

  x +3 = x^2 +2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight substitution of the top expression for y gives you ...

  x +3 = x^2 +2x -4

__

This lets you rewrite the equation to standard form as ...

  x^2 +x -7 = 0

and find the solutions to be ...

  x = (-1±√29)/2

Corresponding y-values will be 3 more than this:

  y = (5±√29)/2
