working alone, aliyah can dig a 10ft by 10 ft hole is 6 hours. one day her friend eugene helped her and it only took 3.75 hours. how long would it take eugene to do it alone? disclaimer: the answer is 11.95 hours, but i keep getting 10. please use the 1/x+1/y=1/z strategy

16.9 times 2.85

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
