Answer:
1 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
10/12 = 5/6
1/3 = 2/6
2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6
7/6 = 1 1/6
Answer:
7 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
When Jay and Kevin work together to clear the driveway of snow it takes an average of 14 minutes. If Jay or Kevin works alone to clear the driveway he can clean it in 21 minutes. In total if Jay works alone then he can clean the driveway by spending additional 7 minutes.
Number 5. 7776 in squared
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If x + y = 6, then solve for y to get: y = 6 - x.
Now replace y with 6 - x in both equations.
(5x)/3 + 6 - x = c
2(6 - x) = c - 4x
The upper equation is solved for c.
Now we solve the lower equation for c.
c = 2(6 - x) + 4x
c = 12 - 2x + 4x
c = 2x + 12
Since we have two equations solved for c, we substitute to get
(5x)/3 + 6 - x = 2x + 12
This is an equation in only x, so we can solve for x.
(5x)/3 - 3x = 6
5x - 9x = 18
-4x = 18
x = -9/2
Now we solve for y.
x + y = 6
-9/2 + y = 6
y = 9/2 + 12/2
y = 21/2
Now we solve for c.
c = (5x)/3 + y
c = (5 * (-9/2))/3 + 21/2
c = -45/6 + 21/2
c = -15/2 + 21/2
c = 6/2
c = 3
Answer: c = 3
