There's 4 layers of paint cause you should just add 4 to 3.43 and you get 7.43 x 10^-7..?
A) No solutions
B) It's because the question gives you that both lines have the same slope. Remember that having the same slope makes the two lines parallel, which means they'll never intersect.
Sorry if i’m wrong or too late but i think you would have to divide 7 by those numbers
Answer:
12:00 am midnight
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
I can read a 336-page book in 6 hours.
My rate r1 = 336/6 pages per hour = 56 pages per hour
Jayne can read a 144-page book in 3 hours.
Jayne rate r2 = 144/3 = 48 pages per hour
If I start reading a 5000-page book at noon and Jayne starts reading the same book at 10 AM
Taking 10 am as the reference time.
Let x represent the time from 10 am at which they would both be on the same page.
For me;
Since i started by noon; 2 hours after 10 am
Time t1 = x-2
For Jayne;
She started by 10 am
Time t2 = x
For them to be on the same page they must have read the same number of pages;
Number of pages read = rate × time
r1(t1) = r2(t2)
Substituting the values;
56(x-2) = 48(x)
56x - 112 = 48x
x(56-48) = 112
x = 112/(56-48)
x = 14 hours
Since 10 am is the reference, the time would be;
=10 am + x = 10 am + 14 hours
= 24:00
= 12:00 am midnight
