Answer:

15 and 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the time taken by the first chap, and y the second.

\left \{ {{x+y = 20 \atop {55x+60y=1125}} \right.

Let's divide by 5 and play with the LHS of the first equation a bit:

11x+ 11y +y = 225\\11(x+y)+y= 225 we know how much x+y is ( first equation!) let's solve.

11(20) +y = 225 \rightarrow y=5 At this point it's easy to check that x=15

stira [4]

Given :

Finley makes one batch of orange paint using 5 L of yellow paint.

To Find :

How many batches of orange paint she can make using 15 L of yellow paint.

Solution :

We need to find how many batches of orange paint she can make using 15 L of yellow paint.

Now , 1 batch requires 5 L of yellow paint .

So , 15 L of paint will make 3 batches .

Let , number of batches be N .

N=1 \times\dfrac{15}{5}\ batches\\\\N=3\ batches

Therefore, number of batches produced is 3 .

Hence, this is the required solution .

The height of a tree in feet over x years is modeled by the function f(x).
Evgesh-ka [11]

If e-the initial hight of the tree, and the function imply some brackets like

f(x)=30/(1+29e-0.5x) then

for every

0.5x > 29e + 1

the rate of growth is negative, the maximum growth per unit of time would be 30ft

If

x \geqslant 1

then

29e <  - 0.5

so the tree couldn't be 2ft tall initially

if the brackets are something like

f(x)=30:(1+29e)-0.5x then the results may differ
