Select the correct answer. It takes Greg and Nikki a total of 40 minutes to paint a room if they work together. If Greg works alone, he takes 18 minutes longer to paint he
room than Nikki takes if she works alone.
When x represents the number of minutes it takes Nikki to paint the room working alone, the situation is represented by this equation:
1/x + 1/x+18 = 1/40
Which value is a solution of the rational equation that must be discarded because of the context?
А.
x = 0
B.
x= -10
С.
X = -18
D
x= -72

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

table a is wierd

step-by-step explanation:

6*f

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)

its kinda hard to answer this when we dont have all the information that we need.
