Answer:

1.67hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Matt to weed the farm be x and that of Jim be y

When they both work together

x + y = 10

Working alone Jim takes as long as 5 times Matt .

That’s y = 5x

Substitute 5x for y in the first equation

That’s x + 5x = 10

6x = 10

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 10/6

x = 1.67 hrs

It takes Matt 1.67hrs to weed the farm alone

The residual value or some may term it the salvage value is the value of an item after a certain period of time. Let x be the original msrp (manufacturer suggested retail price), we can calculate for the salvage value as follows:
                                               12,780 = 0.72x
The value of x from the equation generated above is 17,750. Therefore, the original msrp is equal to $17,750.

Jackie walks into a convenience store and recognizes the number of lottery tickets she can purchase varies inversely with the pr
OLEGan [10]
Let the price of the tickets be 'x' and the number of tickets bought is 'y'

When the y inversely proportioned to x, the equation is

y = k/x where k is a constant

We work out the value of k by using the information y = 6 and x = 5

6 = k/5
k = 30

Hence, the maximum number of tickets when the price is $3 is

y = 30/3
y = 10 tickets

Sails come in many shapes and sizes. The sail on the right is a triangle. Is it a right triangle? Explain your reasoning.
Rudiy27

Answer:

not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the pythagorean theorem to prove whether not this is a right triangle

if this triangle is a right triangle then the following equality should be true

a²+b²=c²

(9.75)²+(3.45)²=(10.24)²

(95.06)+(11.90)=(104.86)

106.96≠104.86

since the following equality is not true, this is not a right triangle.
