Answer:

\boxed{\bold{x  \ =  \ 11  \ or  \ x  \ =  \ -11}}

Explanation:

\bold{x(x  \ -  \ 1)  \ =  \ 121  \ -  \ x}

Simplify both sides of the equation

x² − x = −x + 121

Add x to both sides

x² − x + x = −x + 121 + x

x² = 121

Take square root

x = ± √121

x = 11 or x = −11

An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

<em>6 days</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = C days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2C days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = \frac{1}{C}

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = \frac{1}{2C}

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone =  \frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{2C} = Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 \times 2= <em>6 days</em>

At most, Alana can spend $40 on carnival tickets. Ride tickets cost $4 each, and food tickets cost $2 each. Alana buys at least
evablogger [386]
We can let r be the number of food tickets and f be the number of food tickets. Since Alana can spend at most $40, that means the total of price bought for r and f must be less than or equal to $40. In addition, since Alana buys at least 16 tickets, this also means that the total of r and f is 16. Mathematically, we have these inequalities: (1) 4r + 2f ≤ 40 and (2) r + f ≥ 16 Multiplying -2 in (2), we have 4r + 2f ≤ 40 -2r - 2f ≤ 32 Adding both inequalities, 2r ≤ 8 r ≤ 4 Since r must be less than or equal to 4.Thus the answer is <span>A.</span>
