<em>Answer</em>
3
<em>Explanation</em>
Let's start by factoring the expression; 3x + 24.
3 is common in both term. So, factor it out.
3x + 24 = 3(x + 8)
The number that would fill in the blank to complete the factorization of 3x+24 is 3.
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the three angles in the diagram is 180 degrees since they form a straight line
x + 100 + 3x = 180
Combine like terms
100 +4x = 180
Subtract 100 from each side
100+4x-100 =180-100
4x= 80
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 80/4
x = 20
Y + 6 2/3 = -14 1/2
-6 2/3 -6 2/3
——————————
Y = -21 1/6
Short Answer: 18 minutes
Remark
The answer to this problem is less than the smallest time of the two people working together. that fact lets out C and D (38 minutes and 75 minutes). Now you have to choose 15 minutes and 18 minutes. There's a method. No guessing needed.
Givens
Let the time for Sophie = S
Let the time for Simon = M
Let the job to completion = 1
S = 45 minutes
M = 30 minutes
Step One
Convert minutes to hours.
45 minutes = 45 / 60 = 3/4 hour = 0.75 hour
30 minutes = 30 / 60 = 1/2 hour = 0.50 hour
Step Two
Set up the Equation
The formula is a form of job / hour.
Let the time = t that they both have to work
job = 1 in these problems.
1/S + 1/M = 1/t
1/0.75 + 1/0.5 = 1/t
Solve
1 ÷ 0.75 = 1.33333
1 ÷ 0.5 = 2
1.3333 + 2 = 3.33333
3.3333 = 1 / t Multlply both sides by t
3.3333*t = 1
t = 1 / 3.333333333
t = 0.3 of an hour
1 hour = 60 minutes
0.3 hours = x Cross Multiply
x = 60 * 0.3
x = 18 minutes
