Answer: 4.8 hrs

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Josh: \frac{1}{8}

Dad: \frac{1}{x}

Together: \frac{1}{3}

Josh + Dad = Together

\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{3}

\frac{1}{8}*(24x) + \frac{1}{x}*(24x) = \frac{1}{3}(24x)

 3x + 24 = 8x

<u> -3x         </u>  <u> -3x </u>

         24 = 5x

       <u> ÷5  </u>   <u>÷5  </u>

        4.8 = x

Find m2ABC<br> (3x + 8)<br><br> (5x - 40)
Virty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 8) =(5x - 40)

Remove the brackets and replace 3x with -40 and -40 with 3x.

40 + 8 =5x - 3x  (Remember that when you replace, the signs change from negative to positive and vise versa)

Solve for x. x= -24

Replace x with its value.

3(-24)+ 8= -64

5(-24) - 40= -160

HJ is twice JK. J is between H and K. If HJ= 4x and HK=78, find Jk.
ss7ja [257]
You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:

HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK

2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26
