(S Sue can shovel snow from her driveway in 65 minutes. Tom can do the same job in 45 minutes How long would a
take Sue and Tom to shovel the driveway if they worked together?

26.59 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the time needed to do the driveway combined is x. Sue does y parts of the driveway, and Tom does z parts of the driveway. Combined, y + z = 100% = 1, as they finish the whole driveway.

Next, Tom will take 45 * z minutes to do his part of the driveway. For example, if he did 50% = 0.5 of the driveway, he would take 45 * 0.5 = 22.5 minutes to do it. Similarly, Sue will take 65 *y minutes to do her part of the driveway. Since they will finish at the same time, we can say

45 * z = 65 * y

y + z = 1

Therefore, if we subtract y from both sides of the second equation, we have

z = 1-y

We can then plug 1-y in for z in the first equation to get

45 * (1-y) = 65 * y

45 - 45*y = 65*y

add both sides by 45 * y to separate the y values and their coefficients

45 = 110 * y

divide both sides by 110 to find y

y = 45/110 = 0.409

Use 1-y=z to get z = 1-0.409 = 0.59

Therefore, 45*z = 26.59 = 65*y

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

x=17

answer:

x=17

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
