Number of jobs=1

Time: 
<span>Since ‘x’ is given as a variable in the choices, we should reserve it for Kate and use ‘y’ for Jean as follows: </span>
<span>
Kate: => x </span>
<span>Jean: => y </span>

<span>But y = x - 5 </span>

<span>Combined rate: </span>
<span>1/x+ 1/y </span>
<span>= (x + y)/(xy) </span>

<span>Number of jobs done: </span>
<span>
Number of days X combined rate = number of jobs </span>
<span>6 [(x + y)/(xy)] = 1 </span>
<span>6x + 6y = xy </span>
<span>6x + 6(x - 5) = x(x - 5) </span>
<span>6x + 6x - 30 = x² - 5x </span>
<span>12x - 30 = x² - 5x </span>
<span>x² - 17x + 30 = 0 
</span>
Therefore, the answer would be A.

In a science-fiction story, a spaceship travels 3 times faster each minute than it traveled during the minute before. If the shi
JulijaS [17]

The expression is:

speed(minutes)=3\frac{km}{h} ^{minutes} \\\\speed(15minutes)=(3^{15})\frac{km}{4} =14348907\frac{km}{g}

Why?

From the statement we know that the spaceship travels 3 times faster each minute that it traveled during the minute before, it can be expressed using an exponential function, its base will be the starting speed (during the first minute).

The expression will be:

speed(minutes)=(3^{minutes})\frac{km}{h} \\\\speed(15minutes)=(3^{15})\frac{km}{h}=14348907\frac{km}{h}

Have a nice day!

Given data for different baseball teams’ number of home runs and wins for the past season, how would you find the equation of th
NNADVOKAT [17]
You can get the amount that they get, by getting the amount of home runs vs the amount of wins they won, to show how the homeruns affect the wins

you can have x as the wins, and y by the amount of homeruns per win.

Then you can create first a bar graph, and then a line graph, to show how the homeruns affects the victory

hope this helps

A semi-ellipse-shaped gate has a maximum height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet, both measured along the center. Can a truck w
Free_Kalibri [48]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are given a semi-ellipse gate whose dimensions are as follows:

  Height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet.

Now, if a truck is loaded then:

Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 16 feet

The truck won't pass through the gate since the width of truck is more than that of the gate.

When the truck is not loaded then:

 Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 10 feet

The truck would easily pass through  the gate since, the dimensions of truck are less than that of the gate.

Which descriptions from the list below accurately describe the relationship between QRS and TUV? Check all that apply.
valentina_108 [34]

Definition: Triangles are congruent when they have  exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles.

From the diagram you have that:

  • m\angle Q=m\angle T=50^{\circ}
  • m\angle R=m\angle U=83^{\circ}
  • m\angle S=m\angle V=47^{\circ}
  • QR=TU=22
  • RS=UV=23
  • QS=TV=30

Triangles QRS and TUV have congruent corresponding sides and congruent corresponding angles. This means they are congruent triangles. Congruent triangles always have the same shape and the same size. Also each pair of congruent triangles is a pair of similar triangles with ratio of similarity equal to 1.

Answer: all choices are correct.
