Explain this. hello, i'm terrible at word problems, and i was hoping someone could give me the written equation and explain why for this word problem. (not fully worked out to answer) here is the problem "anita can clean a typical pool in 8 hours. chao can clean a typical pool in 6 hours. how long should it take anita and chao working together to clean a typical pool? show all your work. leave your final answer as an integer or reduced fraction." in advance!

Step-by-step explanation:

For these types of problems use the following formula.

Where t is the time it takes them both to clean the entire pool if they work together.

x is the time it takes Anita to clean the pool

z is the time it takes Chao to clean the pool

So:

Now solve the equation for t

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!

my guess would be b and d, but i didn’t actually get out the pen and paper. lol
