A roofer requires 15 hours to shingle a roof, while an apprentice requires 21 hours. Write
an equation that can be used to find the time in hours, t, it would take to shingle the roof if
both worked together. Solve the equation.

The equation in terms of "t"

1/t = ¹/₂₁ + ¹/₁₅

On solving the equation "t"= 8 ³/₄ days

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by roofer to shingle a roof- 15 hours

Time taken by apprentice-21 hours

Time required to shingle if both worked together- “t” hours

If roofer shingles the roof in 15 hours

Part of the roof he would shingle in 1 hours= ¹/₁₅

Similarly, part of the roof shingled by apprentice in 1 hour- ¹/₂₁

Part of the roof shingles when they worked together for 1 hours-                    1/t = ¹/₂₁ + ¹/₁₅

Total time taken= 1/t = ¹/₂₁ + ¹/₁₅

1/t= ⁽²¹⁺¹⁵⁾ /₃₁₅

t= 315/36 = 8 ³/₄ days

use google you idiot omg you're so annoying

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
