Answer:

it will take A 4.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Say both teams are of same man power, and here we have two teams

A and B

B takes 13 hours to finish a task.

A&B takes 8.5 hours to finish same tasks

Hence it will take A 13-8.5=4.5 hours to complete the task

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Team a wash the windows = x hours

Team B = 13 hours

Team a + Team b = 8.5 hours

Assuming the time taken for team a amd team b be a and b respectively.

To wash 13 windows, Team a will do so in x hours = x × 13

To wash x number of windows, Team b will do so in x hours = x × 13

a + b = 8.5 hours

So in 13x hours, the two teams can wash 13 + x windows. To paint just a window, they'll need 1/(13 + x) hours,

8.5 = 13x/(x + 13)

4.5x = 110.5

Solving for x,

110.5/4.5 = x

x = 24.56 hours

Team a will require 24.56 hours to do the work alone.

What root of x does the expression (x^3/8)^2/3 yield?
Yuki888 [10]
The rule for exponents of exponents is:

a^b^c=a^(b*c), in this case:

x^(3/8)^(2/3)

x^((3/8)*(2/3))

x^(6/24)

x^(1/4)

So x^(1/4) is equal to the fourth root.

kolezko [41]
Since the two measures are vertical angles, you want to set them equal to each other :

6x+7=8x-17
-6x -6x
——————
7=2x-17
+17 +17
———————
24= 2x
X= 12
———

The answer is 12.
