Leah can build a brick wall in 7 hours, while her apprentice can do the job in 10 hours. How long does it take for them to build a wall together

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

70/17 hours or 4 2/17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we use is 1/7 + 1/10 = 1/x, x being the time it took them together to build. x works out to 70/17 hours

Answer 2

Leah and her apprentice can build the wall together in 4 2/17 hours

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Hours required by Leah to build a wall = 7 hours

So , Leah builds ( 1/7 )th of the wall per hour

Hours required by apprentice to build a wall = 10 hours

So , Apprentice builds ( 1/10 )th of the wall per hour

When they are both building the wall together , they build
( 1/7 )th + ( 1/10 )th of the wall together per hour = 1 / x

Therefore , the equation will be

1/x = 1/7 + 1/10

1/x = 17 / 70

Taking reciprocal on both sides , we get

x = 70/17

x = 4 2/17 hours  

Hence , Leah and her apprentice can build a wall together in 4 2/17 hours

For questions 3 - 6, find F'(x), the inverse of F(x).

3. F(x) = x-10

4. F (x) = x/6 + 3

5. F(x) = 3x + 7

6. F(x) = 8x

Answers

Answer:

3)  f'(x) = x + 10

4)  f'(x) = 6x - 18

5)  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f'(x)=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{7}{3}}[/tex] or  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f'(x)=\frac{x - 7}{3}}[/tex]

6)  f'(x) = ⅛x  or  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f'(x)=\frac{x}{8}}[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

3. f(x) = x - 10

Step 1: In order to find the inverse function of f(x) = x - 10, start by replacing f(x) with y.  

y = x - 10

Step 2:  Switch x and y:

x = y - 10

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides to isolate y:

x + 10 = y - 10 + 10

x + 10 = y

Step 4: Replace y with f'(x):

f'(x) = x + 10  ⇒ This is the inverse function of f(x).

4.  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f(x)=\:\frac{x}{6}\:+\:3}[/tex]

Replace f(x) with y:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{y=\:\frac{x}{6}\:+\:3}[/tex]

Switch x and y:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{x=\:\frac{y}{6}\:+\:3}[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{x-3=\:\frac{y}{6}\:+\:3-3}[/tex][tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{x-3=\:\frac{y}{6}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 6 to isolate y:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{6(x-3)=\:\frac{y}{6}(6)}[/tex]

6x - 18 = y

Replace y with f'(x):

f'(x) = 6x - 18  ⇒ This is the inverse function of f(x).

5. f(x) = 3x + 7

Replace f(x) with y:

y = 3x + 7

Switch x and y:

x = 3y + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides:

x - 7 = 3y + 7 - 7

x - 7 = 3y

Multiply both sides by :

⅓(x - 7) = 3y (⅓)

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{7}{3}=y}[/tex]

Replace y with f'(x):

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f'(x)=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{7}{3}}[/tex]  or  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f'(x)=\frac{x - 7}{3}}[/tex]   ⇒ This is the inverse function of f(x).

6. f(x) = 8x

Replace f(x) with y:

y = 8x

Switch x and y:

x = 8y

Multiply both sides by :

⅛(x) = ⅛(8y)

⅛x = y or  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{x}{8}=y}[/tex]  

Replace y with f'(x):

f'(x) = ⅛x  or [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{f'(x)=\frac{x}{8}}[/tex]   ⇒ This is the inverse function of f(x).

Answers

Answer:

in 8 years both school will have 650 students

Step-by-step explanation:

HS A (t) = 250+50t

HSB (t) = 450+25t

250 + 50t = 450 + 25t

25t=200

t=8

in 8 years

to graph this:

HSA points (0,250) (2, 350) (4, 450) (8, 650)(10, 750)

HSB points (0, 450) ( 2, 500) (4, 550) (8, 650) (10, 700)

when you graph then you will notice they intercept at 8, which gives you 650 students

Answers

50 x 30 x 20 = 30000 cm cubed

Let’s say the house is a perfect rectangle. Then you would take all 4 sides and add them to find the perimeter. 1,200+1,100+1,200+1,100. Rectangles have 2 parallel sides, so the length and the width would be the same for both sides. The answer is 4,600 feet.

Walker St. Highlands Park brick wall brick wall 60 James Ave. What is the measure, in degrees, of ZACB, the angle formed by the park's two bri walls?​

Answers

Applying the definition of alternate angles and angles on a straight-line: m<ACB = 84°.

Recall:

Alternate angles are congruent and have equal angle measures.Angles on a straight-line = 180 degrees.

The diagram showing the information and sketch of the Highland Park is attached below (see attachment).

Thus:

m<BAC = 36° (given)

m<BCE = 60° (given)

<ACD = <BAC (alternate angles)

Therefore,

m<ACD = 36°

m<ACB = 180° - (m<ACD + m<BCE) (angles on a straight-line)

Substitute

m<ACB = 180° - (36° + 60°)

m<ACB = 84°

Thus, applying the definition of alternate angles and angles on a straight-line: m<ACB = 84°.
