Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can clean my house in 3 hours and my sloppy friend can completely mess it up in 6 hours, so if we both "work" together, the time, \(x,\) it takes to clean the house can be modeled by \(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{6}=1\)
perform the indicated operations. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\left(\frac{3 x^{2}-4 x+4}{3 x^{2}+7 x+2}-\frac{10 x+9}{3 x^{2}+7 x+2}\right) \div \frac{x-5}{x^{2}-4}$$
Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can solve \(\frac{x}{9}=\frac{4}{6}\) by using the cross-products principle or by multiplying both sides by \(18,\) the least common denominator.
A snowstorm causes a bus driver to decrease the usual average rate along a 60 -mile route by 15 miles per hour. As a result, the bus takes two hours longer than usual to complete the route. At what average rate does the bus usually cover the 60 -mile route?
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. If \(B=k W,\) find the value of \(k,\) in decimal form, using \(B=5\) and \(W=160\)
