Answer: it will take a combined rate of 2.67 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Father can do the job on the farm in 6 hours. This means that the father's unit rate of working will be 1/6
The older son can do it in 8 hours. This means that the older son's rate of working will be 1/8
The younger son can do same job in 12 hours. This means that the younger son's working rate is 1/12
When they work together, they will be working simultaneously. It means that their unit rates are additive. The combined unit rates will be
1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 = (20 + 15 + 10)/120
45/120
Assuming it takes t hours for them to complete the work while doing it together. Their combined unit rate will be 1/t
45/120 = 1/t
45t = 120
t = 120/45 = 2.67 hours
Answer: Not a function
Step-by-step explanation:

8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
