0 because 0 times anything is 0
Answer:
The cost of spoon is £1.84 and therefore the cost of one knife is £5.52.
Given :
-
A knife is 3 times the cost of the spoon.
- 9 spoons and 12 knives costs £82.80.
Solution :
-
This question is solve by creating a linear equation and linear equations are nothing but yet another subset of "equations".
- Linear calculations that requires more than one variable can be done with the help of linear equations.
- The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is ax + b = 0.
Now let x be the cost of spoon. Than the cost knife is 3x. It is given that 9 spoons and 12 knives costs £82.80.

</h3>
Therefore the cost of 1 knife = 5.52

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.
Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.
Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.
7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)
14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x
x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0
x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51
6-√51 is an extraneous solution.
x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14
Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours
