Answer:
4372/1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Find a common denominator which is 12
1*3=3 4*3=12 so 3 3/12
then 5*2=10 6*2=12 so 2 10/12
2 10/12+3 3/12= 5 13/12
13/12= 1 1/12 plus 5= 6 1/12
so your answer would be 6 1/12
This kind of problems requires to add the working velocities. The total velocity is the sum of the individual velocities.
Anita's velocity = 1 pool/8 hours
Chao's velocity = 1 pool/6 hours
Combined velocity 1/8 + 1/6 = (3 + 4)/24 = 7/24 pool/hour
Time = 1 pool / (7/24) pool/hour = 24/7 hour =3.43 hours
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>:-
given the lengths of two sides of a right angle are represented by 2x and 3(x+1) and longest side is 17 units.
AB = 2x and BC = 3(x+1) and longest side AC= 17
by using Pythagoras theorem

<u>step 2:-</u>
The hypotenuse is longest side is AC = 17 units
(17)^2 = 4x^2 +9(X+1)^2
on simplification, we will use formula

289 = 4x^2 +9(x^2+2x+1)

finding factors 70 X 52 = 3640


Taking common , we get
13x(x-4)+70(x-4)=0
x-4=0 and 13x+70=0
x=4 and 
x=4 and 
we can not choose negative value so x value is 4
Final answer:- x = 4
<u>verification:-</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
289 = 4(4)^2+9(4+1)^2
289 = 64 +9(25)
289=289
