bricklayer brenda would take nine hours to build a chimney alone, and bricklayer brandon would take 1010 hours to build it alone. when they work together, they talk a lot, and their combined output decreases by 1010 bricks per hour. working together, they build the chimney in 55 hours. how many bricks are in the chimney?



Answer :

When seen as a function, a relationship exists between a set of inputs and outputs.

The number of bricks in the chimney exists 900.

What is meant by functions?

A function in mathematics from a set X to a set Y allocates exactly one element of Y to each element of X. The sets X and Y are collectively referred to as the function's domain and codomain, respectively.

Simply described, a function is an input-output connection where each input is coupled to exactly one output range, codomain, and domain are included in each function. A function exists generally denoted by f(x) where x exists the input.

Let x be the number of bricks in the chimney. The work done exists the rate multiplied by the time.

Using w = rt, we get

[tex]$x=\left(\frac{x}{9}+\frac{x}{10}-10\right) \cdot 5[/tex]

Expanding the above equation, we get

[tex]$\left(\frac{x}{9}+\frac{x}{10}-10\right) \cdot 5: \quad \frac{19 x}{18}-50$[/tex]

x = (19x / 18) - 50

Multiply both sides by 18

[tex]$x \cdot 18=\frac{19 x}{18} \cdot 18-50 \cdot 18[/tex]

Simplifying the above equation,

x × 18 = 19x - 900

Subtract 19x from both sides

x × 18 - 19x = 19x - 900 - 19x

Simplifying the above equation, we get

-x = -900

Divide both sides by -1

[tex]$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-900}{-1}[/tex]

x = 900

Therefore, the value of x exists 900.
