Al and Tom are painting a shed. Working alone, Al can paint the shed in 2 hrs. Together they can paint the shed in 1.5 hours. How long would it take Tom to paint the shed on his own?

6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula sort of has to be invented.

Al

rate = 1 shed / 2 hours

Tom

rate = 1 shed / x hours.

Together.

rate = 1 shed / 1.5 hours.

Equation

1 shed / 2 hours + 1 shed / x hours = 1 shed / 1.5 hours.

1/2 + 1/x = 1/1.5          Put the fractions over a common denominator.

(x + 2) / 2x = 1 / 1.5   Cross Multiply

1.5(x + 2) = 2x           Remove the Brackets.

1.5x + 3 = 2x             Subtract 1.5x from both sides

3 = 2x - 1.5x

3 = 0.5x                    Multiply both sides by 2

6 = x

It would take Al 6 hours to do the shed on his own.

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
