Answer to Problem 10P

Time took by James was 8h to paint the house himself where h is an hour.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Colleen took 2h less than James on working alone and when working together they both took 10h to paint the house.

Formula:

The quadratic equation b±b24ac2a .

Calculation:

Consider that the time taken by James to paint the house was xh where h is an hour.

As mentioned above Colleen took 2h less than James on working alone.

Therefore Colleen took (x2)h where h is anhour.

When they worked together they both took 10h to paint the house.

Therefore x2+(x2)2=102 .

Therefore

  x2+(x2)2=102x2+x2+44x=100x22x48=0x2+6x8x48=0x(x+6)8(x+6)=0(x8)(x+6)=0x=8,6.

Therefore the James took 8h to paint the house himself where h is an hour.
