Answer:
18.9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets solve for the fractions. You can divide the fractions from the top, to their bottom (4 divided by 5, 3 divided by 5), in this case, you get 1.4. Now you have to rewrite the problem: 1.4+3.5x5. You solve it, and get 18.9.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start by plugging in our (a) value
a^2 + 5a + 4
(-5)^2 + 5(-5) +4
25 - 25 + 4
0 + 4
4 is your final answer!
This is how I would solve it:
1st # = x 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1 4x+4=3x+18
4x=3x+14
x=14
To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18. <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>
Answer:
3.7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Pat could do the job alone in 8 hours.
Patti could do the job alone in 7 hours
Output = Rate * time
Let the rate at which pat does the work = Rp
Let the rate at which Patti does the work = Rt
Let X be the total output
Rp * 8 = X
Rp = X/8
Rt * 7 = X
Rt = X/7
If both pat and Patti pick apples, we have
(Rp+Rt)T = X
(X/8 + X/7)T = X
[(7X + 8X)/56]T = X
[X(7+8)/56]T = X
Divide both sides by X
[(7+8)/56]T = 1
(15/56)T = 1
T = 56/15
T = 3.7 hours
