Answer:

Bill: 8 years

Hoang: 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Hoang has been a nurse for H years and Bill has been a nurse for B years.

Hoang has been a nurse for 5 years longer than Bill. This means that B + 5 = H

Next, 3 years ago, she had been there twice as long.

(B-3) and (H-3) represent Bill and Hoang 3 years ago respectively.

(B-3) * 2 = (H-3)

We thus have two equations

B+5 = H

(B-3) * 2 = H-3

Substitute B+5 for H in the second equation

2*B - 6 = B+5-3

2B-6 = B+2

add 6 to both sides to put all the constants on one side

2B = B + 8

subtract B from both sides to isolate the variable

B = 8

H = B+5 = 13

Artyom0805 [142]
So is 4 floors / 10 seconds
If you have 60 seconds you can multiple 10 by 6 because 10×6=60
so you also have to multiple 4 by 6
4×6=24
and because it's descending it's 100-24= 76

For a given function ƒ(x) = x2 – x + 1, the operation –ƒ(x) = –(x2 – x + 1) will result in a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=x^2-x+1

To find:

The result of the operation -f(x)=-(x^2-x+1).

Solution:

If g(x)=-f(x), then the graph of f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get the graph of g(x).

We have,

f(x)=x^2-x+1

The given operation is:

-f(x)=-(x^2-x+1)

So, it will result in a reflection across the x-axis.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
