Together, Aanya and Krish can wash and wax Aanya's car in 50 minutes. Alone it takes Krish ten minutes more than Aanya. To the nearest minute, find the number of minutes it takes for each of them to wash and wax the car alone.

95 ; 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Aanya's time = x

Krish's time = x + 10

Together = 50

Hence

Aanya's rate = 1/x

Krish's rate = 1/(x + 10)

Together rate = 1/50

Hence,

1/x + 1/(x + 10) = 1 / 50

((x + 10) + x) / x(x + 10) = 1/ 50

(2x + 10)/ x² + 10x = 1/50

50(2x + 10) = x² + 10x

100x + 500 = x² + 10x

x² + 10x - 100x - 500 = 0

x² - 90x - 500 = 0

Using the quadratic equation solver :

x = 95.24 ; x = - 5.24

Time can't be negative

Hence, x = 95 (nearest minute)

It takes Aanya 95 minutes Alone a ND

Krishna (95 + 10) = 105 minutes alone

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
