Wilma can mow a lawn in 40 minutes. rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. construct an equation that would allow you to determine how long it would take them to mow 2 lawns if they worked together. use t to represent the number of minutes they work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are the time it takes for each worker (Wilma and Rocky) to mow one lawn.

To derive a formula to be able to find the time it takes if they work together we first need to find the rate of work of each worker

The basic formula for rate of working is as follow

Lets calculate the rate of work for Wilma and Rocky

Wilma

Rocky

Notice the 1 at the numerator, this is because the times are given for one job.

To complete two jobs together we derive the following formula based on adding their rates together

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

3

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

+

5

=

−

3

x

=

−

8

thus, the point on the new function would be  

(

−

8

,

7

)

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.
