Algebra.Com's Answer #211071 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if A does a work in x hrs, and b in x+6 hrs, then how much time will it require if both work together?? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "let t = time required when they work together \n" ); document.write( "let the completed job = 1 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "A shared work equation \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by x(x+6), results: \n" ); document.write( "t(x+6) + xt = x(x+6) \n" ); document.write( "tx + 6t + xt = x^2 + 6x \n" ); document.write( "2tx + 6t = x^2 + 6x \n" ); document.write( "factor out t \n" ); document.write( "t(2x+6) = x^2 + 6x \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by (2x+6) \n" ); document.write( "t = \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "Each one will do a fraction of the work, the two fractions add up to 1 which is the completed job \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
