Answer:

4.24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Irina can paint 1/9 of a room in 1 hour since she can paint a room in 9 hours. 1/9x, where x is the number of hours she works and 1/9 of a room per hour is her speed, would be her part of the calculation.

Paulo can paint 1/8 of a room in 1 hour since he can paint an entire room in 8 hours. 1/8x, where x is the number of hours he works and 1/8 of a room per hour is his speed, would be his part of the equation.

1/9x + 1/8x = 1 (Irina's portion of the room plus Paulo's portion of the room equals one complete room) would be the equation.

Look for a denominator that has the same value as the numerator. Both 9 and 8 split evenly into 72 as the initial number. We multiply the top of 1/9 by 8 to convert the fraction and get 8/72x because 9*8 = 72. We multiply the top of 1/8 by 9 to convert the fraction and get 9/72x because 8*9 = 72. We have 8/72x+9/72x=1 currently.

17/72x=1

÷ both sides by 17/72:

17/72x ÷ 17/72 = 1÷17/72

∴ x=1/1 * 72/17

∴ x=72/17= 4.24

-6 - 3(2x + 4) = 18what’s the answer
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-3\left(2x+4\right)=18

Add 6 to both sides:

-6-3\left(2x+4\right)+6=18+6

-3\left(2x+4\right)=24

Divide both sides by -3:

\frac{-3\left(2x+4\right)}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}

2x+4=-8

Subtract 4 from both sides:

2x+4-4=-8-4

2x=-12

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}

x=-6
