Let n be old painters time. Then the new painters are 2n. So:
1/n+1/2n=1/6
2+1=2n/6
2n=18
n=9
The old painters take 9 hours; the new ones take 18

Applying the rules of exponents, the letter answers that form the code are: MATH IS NOT JUST ANOTHER FOUR LETTER WORD.

<h3>What are the Rules of Exponents?</h3>

Some of the rules of exponents to be applied are as follows:

x^0 = 1\\\\x^m \times x^n = x^{(m + n)}\\\\x^{-m} = \frac{1}{x^m} \\\\x^m \div x^n = x^{(m - n)}\\\\

<h3>What are Equivalent Expressions?</h3>

If two expressions have the same value, both are said to be equivalent expressions.

1. 3^2 \times 3^{-5} = 3^{2 - 5}\\\\

3^-3 = \frac{1}{3^3} = \frac{1}{27}

Answer: H

2. 3³/6² = 27/36 = 3/4

Answer: R

3. \frac{3^2}{3^5} = 3^{2 - 5} = 3^{-3]} = \frac{1}{3^3} = \frac{1}{27}

Answer: M

4. 7²/7² = 49/49 = 7° = 1

Answer: J

5. 8^-2 = 1/8² = 1/64

Answer: A

6. (4²)(4³) = 4^(2 + 3) = 4^5

Answer: L

7. (3²)³ = 3²*³ = 3^6

8. 4° × 4^-1 = 1 × 1/4 = 1/4

Answer: E

9. \frac{(2^4)^3}{(2^7)(2^5)} = \frac{2^{12}}{2^{12}} = 1

Answer: U

10. (3^2)^{-1} = 3^{-2}

Answer: I

11. 1^{98} = 1

Answer: D

12. y^{10} \div y^5 = y^{10 - 5} = y^5

Answer: F

13. 8^{-2} \times 8^4 = 8^{(-2 + 4)} = 8² = 64

Answer: S

14. 2^{-3} \times 3^{-2} = 1/2³ × 1/3² = 1/8 × 1/9 = 1/72

Answer: O

15. \frac{3^2}{3^2} = 3^{2-2} = 3^0 = 1

Answer: N

16. (\frac{1}{2} )^{-1} = (2^{-1})^{-1} = 2

Answer: T

Thus, applying the rules of exponents, the letter answers that form the code are: MATH IS NOT JUST ANOTHER FOUR LETTER WORD.

The total surface area of this cuboid is 112cm squared find the value of x
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The height of cuboid is 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of cuboid  = 2lb+2bh+2hl

Length of cuboid = 10 cm

Width of cuboid = 2 cm

Let the height be x

Total surface area of cuboid  = 2(10)(2)+2(2)(x)+2(x)(10)

Total surface area of this cuboid is 112 cm squared

 2(10)(2)+2(2)(x)+2(x)(10)=112

40+4x+20x=112

40+24x=112

24x=112-40

24x=72

x=\frac{72}{24}

x=3

Hence the height of cuboid is 3 cm
