You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:
The answer is C because they have the same coefficient and variable on both sides (or something like that but its definitely c )
Y= -5.8 is the correct answer
Answer: The correct option is
(D) The sequence is not arithmetic because the terms do not have a common difference.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the true statement regarding the sequence that is graphed in the figure.
From the graph, we see that some of the points are (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25).
That is, if we write the graphed points in terms of a sequence <a(n)>, then we get

The sequence <a(n)> will be arithmetic if the difference between the consecutive terms is equal. That is, the terms should have a common difference.
Now,

This implies that the terms do not have a common difference and so the graphed function does not represent an arithmetic sequence.
Thus, the sequence is not arithmetic because the terms do not have a common difference.
Option (D) is CORRECT.
