Max and Maggie have to clean the house. It takes Max 10 hours to clean the house, while Maggie can complete the task in 6 hours. How long will it take for them to work together? Explain each step in solving this equation. (10 points)
Part A) we have that 1/(x-1)+2/x=x/(x-1) we know that for x=1 and x=0 the equation is undefined because the denominator can not be zero
Part B) 1/(x-1)+2/x=x/(x-1) ---------> [x+2*(x-1)]/[x*(x-1)]=x/(x-1) the term (x-1) in the denominator is simplified [x+2*(x-1)]/x=x x+2x-2=x²--------------> x²-3x+2=0
using a graph tool---------> I solve the quadratic equation see the attache figure the solution are x1=1 x2=2
Part C) we Know that Max-----------------> takes 10 hours to clean the house we calculate how much clean in an hour if takes 10 hour------------> 100% 1 hour----------------------X X=100/10--------> X=10%
Maggie-------------> takes 6 hours to clean the house we calculate how much clean in an hour if takes 6 hour------------> 100% 1 hour----------------------X X=100/6--------> X=16.67%
we add both percentages (10+16.67)=26.67 % if both takes 1 hour----------> 26.67 % X----------------------------------> 100% X=100/26.67----------> X=3.75 hours---------> 3 hours+45 minutes
the answer part C) is 3.75 hours (3 hours+45 minutes)
