Clarissa and Shawna, working together, can paint the exterior of a house in 6 days. Clarissa by herself can complete this in 5 days less than Shawna. how long will it take Clarissa to complete the job by herself?

Clarissa will take 10 hours by herself

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = time for shawna

s-5 = time for clarissa

The formula for determining the time is

1/a + 1/b = 1/c  where a and b are the times alone and c is the time together

1/s + 1/(s-5) = 1/6

Multiply each side by 6s(s-5) to clear the fractions

6s(s-5) ( 1/s + 1/(s-5)) = 1/6 *6s(s-5)

Distribute

6(s-5) + 6s = s(s-5)

Distribute

6s -30 +6s = s^2 -5s

Combine like terms

12s -30 = s^2 -5s

Move everything to the right

0 = s^2 -5s -12s +30

0 = s^2 -17s +30

Factor

0 = ( s-15) (s-2)

Using the zero product property

s-15 =0   s-2 =0

s =15     s=2 ( This is not a reasonable answer since it is less than the time together)

s=15

s-5 = 10

Clarissa will take 10 hours by herself

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
