Answer:

\frac{5}{16} hours or 18\frac{3}{4} minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{x} +\frac{1}{4x}= 4\\\\\frac{4}{4x}+\frac{1}{4x}   =4\\\\\frac{5}{4x} =4\\\\5=16x\\\\x=\frac{5}{16}

Calculating into minutes.

60*\frac{5}{16}=\\\\\frac{300}{16}  =\\\\18\frac{3}{4}

How can expressions be written and evaluated to solve for unknowns in the real world?

Writing expressions requires figuring out which quantity in a situation is unknown, and define a variable to represent that quantitiy.

We look for words in the problem that will help us out what kind of operation to use in a given situation.

Example:

Donna bought 5 chocolate bars, and then ate some. Write an expression to represent how many chocolate bars Donna has left.

If we let the variable c represent the number of chocolates Donna has eaten, then we can write the expression on how many bars Donna has left as: 5 - c

What are all the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9
frez [133]

Answer:

x = - 3 ± 3\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

given the equation x² + 6x - 9 = 0

We can solve for x using the quadratic formula

x = ( - b ± \sqrt{b^2-4ac } ) / 2a

with a = 1, b = 6 and c = - 9

x = ( - 6 ± \sqrt{6^2-(4(1)(-9)} ) / 2

  = ( - 6 ± \sqrt{36+36} ) / 2

  = ( - 6 ± \sqrt{72} ) / 2

  = ( - 6 ± 6\sqrt{2} ) / 2

x = - 3 ± 3\sqrt{2}

Find <_6 if m <_8 = 120 degrees
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p is parallel to q, <6 and <8 are congruent because of corresponding angles.

m<8=m<6

120=m<6

Since m<8 is 120, and the two angles are congruent, the m<6 is also 120 degrees.
