(A+) It takes a painter and his friend 8 hours to paint a room. If the painter was working alone, it would take him 12 hours less than if his friend was working alone. How long does it take the painter to paint the room by himself?

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )

noncoplanar points are points that do not lie on the same line.

i think the answer is b x = 1, y = 35/2
