Anna can do a job in 4 days. After she has worked for 1 day, she is joined by Sylvia, and it takes them 2 days working together to finish the job. How long would it have taken Sylvia to do the whole job by herself?

8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Anna can do a job in 4 days. After she has worked for 1 day, she is joined by Sylvia, and it takes them 2 days working together to finish the job.

Since Anna has already worked for 1 day, she would have worked the remaining days for 3 days. But she is joined by Sylvia, and it takes them 2 days working together to finish the job.

That is,

1/3 + 1/S = 1/2

Where S is the number of days Sylvia to do the job being completed in 2 days.

1/S = 1/2 - 1/3

1/S = (3 - 2)/6

1/S = 1/6

S = 6

The job Anna would have done for 3 days, will take 6 days for Sylvia.

The 1 days used by Anna will be 2 days for Sylvia.

Therefore, the total days that will take Sylvia to do the whole job by herself will be 2 + 6 = 8 days

62.5 paisa

step-by-step explanation:

4000*70 = 280000

280000-(2000*90) = 100000

4000-2400 = 1600

100000/1600 = 62.5

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
