Answer:
It takes the second worker 11 hours to do the job alone
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem tells you how to work it.
x = 11 tells you the second worker takes 11 hours to do the job alone.
_____
You can also work directly with the fractions. Subtract 1/11 and you have ...
1/x = 1/11
It should not be a real stretch to see that x=11. If you need, you can multiply both sides by 11x to get 11=x.
y=−3x+9 slope of this equation is -3 and y-intercept is 9
Plot the y -intercept first which is 9 and mark the points using the slope which is -3. Join the points. So blue line in the graph is y = -3x+9
y=−x−5 slope of this equation is -1 and y intercept is -5
Plot the y -intercept first which is -5 and mark the points using the slope which is -1 . Join the points. So pink line in the graph is y = -x-5
The intersection point of these two lines gives you the solution.
The coordinates of point of intersection (7,-12)
