To solve this problem, let us say that the action of totally painting a small house is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of each person in painting the small house are:

Bill = 1 job / 3 days = 1 / 3

Sharon = 1 job / 4 days = 1 / 4

Wilber = 1 job / 5 days = 1 / 5

 

Therefore the total rate is calculated by simply adding the rates of the three.

(1 /  3) + (1 / 4) + (1 / 5) = 1 / x

where x is the number of hours it take if all them paint together

 

Calculating for by multiplying both sides by 60:

60 [(1 /  3) + (1 / 4) + (1 / 5) = 1 / x]

(60/3) + (60/4) + (60/5) = 60 / x

20 + 15 + 12 = 60 / x

47 = 60 / x

x = 60 / 47 hours

 

 

Answer:

60/47 hours

-6(2r +8)=-10(r-3)<br> I need the work to
barxatty [35]

Answer:

r = -39

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are trying to solve the equation for r.

-6(2r + 8) = -10(r - 3)

Divide both sides by -2. (This will make distributing much easier.)

3(2r + 8) = 5(r - 3)

Distribute the 3 on the left side and the 5 on the right side,

6r + 24 = 5r - 15

Subtract 24 from both sides.

6r = 5r - 39

Subtract 5r from both sides.

r = -39

So now we have solve the equation.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying. :)

F(x)=3x 2 +24x+48f, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, 3, x, squared, plus, 24, x, plus, 48 What is the value of th
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The discriminant of function is 0. There one distinct real number zero of f(x)(repeated roots).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function in the question:

f(x)=3x^2 +24x+48

We have to calculate the discriminant of the function.

Comparing to

f(x) = ax^2+bx+c

We get,

a = 3\\b=24\\c = 48

Discriminant is given by:

D = b^2-4ac

Putting values, we get,

D = (24)^2-4(3)(48) = 0

Thus, the discriminant of function is 0.

Since, the discriminant is zero, the function have repeated real roots. Thus, one distinct real number zero of f(x).

Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3.5 hours. He then drove the next 2.25 hours at a rate of 5 miles an hour faster than the first
SVEN [57.7K]
  1. Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3.5 hours. Distance here is 168 miles.
  2. He drove for 2.25 at a rate of 5miles/hour. The speed here is 5miles/hour.

Since we are looking for distance, we have to convert the 2nd part (which is the speed) to dostance.

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 5 x 2.25 = 11.25

In the first part, he drove for 3.5 hours. And in the 2nd part, he drove for 2.25 hours which sum up together to be 5.75 hours.

Since we have the distances for both parts now, we just sum it up

which it 168 + 11.25 = 179.25 miles

I hope this is good
