Translate the following into an algebraic expression: If it would take Mark m hours to clean the house alone and with his brother Sam they can clean the house together in t hours. How many hours would it have taken Sam if he was working alone?

s = t - m

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming s equals the amount of time it would take Sam, subtracting the amount of time it takes Mark from the time it takes them together would give you the time Sam would take since with Sam's help, the time would equal t hours. Then without Mark's help is how long it would take him.

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
