Glenn needs 20 minutes to clean his room. if his little sister veronika pulls things out while he is cleaning, it takes 60 minutes for him to clean the room. how many minutes does it take for veronika to pull everything out?

It takes 30 minutes

Step By Step:

The rate of Glenn in finishing a job would be equivalent to:

Rate (G) = 1

job / 20 minutes

While the rate of Veronika is:

Rate (V) = 1

job / x---> x is the unknown

Where 1 job for Glenn means completely cleaning his room while 1 job for Veronika means pulling out everything. Therefore the equation to use would be:

1 / 20 – 1 /

x = 1 / 60

The rate of

Veronika is subtracted from the rate of Glenn since Veronika is slowing Glenn

down. Solving for x:

Multiply both

sides by 60 x

(1 / 20 – 1 /

x = 1 / 60) * 60 x

3 x – 60 = x

2 x = 60

x = 30

Therefore it

takes 30 minutes for Veronika to pull everything out.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
