Write an equation that can be used to solve the problem. then answer the question asked. a group of college students are volunteering for habitat for humanity during their spring break. they are putting the finishing touches on a house they built. working alone, dale horton can paint a certain room in 3 hours. kathy garcia can paint the same room in 9 hours. how long will it take them working together to paint the room?

Required equation :

Together they can paint the same room in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Dale Horton can paint a certain room in 3 hours.

One hour woks of Dale Horton = 1/3

Kathy Garcia can paint the same room in 9 hours.

One hour woks of Kathy Garcia = 1/9

Let together they can paint the same room in t hours.

One hour woks of both = 1/t

After reciprocal we get

1 hour = 60 minutes.

0.25 hour = 15 minutes.

Therefore, together they can paint the same room in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
