Question 38885
One machine can produce 2x as fast as other
Other can produce x as fast.
Equation:
{{{1/2x+1/x=1/8}}}
{{{((2x)+(x))=((x)(2x))/8}}}
{{{3x=2x^2/8}}}
{{{24x=2x^2}}}
{{{x^2-12x=0}}}
x(x-12)
x=12
2(12)=24
Hence, one can produce the number of pages is 12 minutes while the other can produce the number of pages in 24 minutes.
