Two tailors, Valentina and Laura, sit down to do some embroidery. Valentina can embroider 2 shirts per hour, and Laura can get t

hrough 3 shirts per hour. In addition, the tailors had previously finished some shirts. Valentina has already completed 15 shirts, and Laura has completed 11 shirts. Valentina and Laura decide to take a break when they have finished the same total number of shirts. How many shirts, in total, will each tailor have finished? How long will that take?

Answer:

Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in $4$ hours.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina $=23$

Total number of shirts finished by Laura $=23$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in $t$ hours.

Valentina can embroider 2 shirts per hour and Valentina has already completed 15 shirts.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina $=2t+15$

Laura can get through 3 shirts per hour and Laura has completed 11 shirts.

Total number of shirts finished by Laura $=3t+11$

Therefore,

$2t+15=3t+11\\3t-2t=15-11\\t=4$

So,

Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in $4$ hours.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina $=2(4)+15=8+15=23$

Total number of shirts finished by Laura $=3(4)+11=12+11=23$

Alexeev081 [22]

x - boat speed; y - current speed; Path = 336:2 = 168 miles

1) 12 * (x + y) = 168; -> x + y = 14;

2) 14 * (x - y) = 168; -> x - y = 12;

1) x = 14 - y;

2) (14 - y) - y = 12;

14 - 2y = 12;

2y = 2;

y = 1 mph

x = 14 - 1 = 13 mph

Answer:

Boat speed = 13 mph

Current speed = 1 mph

Answer: The correct option is second, i.e., x>0.

Explanation:

As we know that the domain is the set of all possible inputs. If function is defined as, f(x) then all possible value of x for which the function f(x) is defined is called domain.

In a graph the domain is defined on the x axis and the range of the function is defined on y-axis.

In the given graph the function is defined from x=0 to $x=\infty$ because for $x\leq 0$ the graph is not defined. It means for $x\leq 0$ the function is not defined.

Sicen the graph is defined for all positive values of x, therefore the domain of the function is al real number greater than 0. It can be written as x>0 and the second option is correct.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 36m. If its length is increased by 1m and the width is increased by 2m, its area will increase b

maw [93]

Answer:

80 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).

2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
(x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area

The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.

xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30

2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2

Dividing the first equation by 2 gives

x +y = 18

and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...

(2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18

x = 10

Then

y = 18 -10 = 8

The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.
