Krystal can wax a floor in 16 minutes. perry her and it took 5.76 minutes. how long would it take perry to do it alone?

Krystal's rate = 1 floor in 16 min. = 1/16 floors per min.

Working together their rate = 1 floor in 5.76 min. = 1/5.76 floors per min.

We need to determine Perry's rate, so we need to equate their combined rate with the sum of the individual rates.

Let Perry's time = x

In equation form, we can write:
1/16 + 1/x = 1/5.76
Solve for x:

(x+16)/16x = 1/5.76 -> 5.76(x+16) = 16x -> 10.24x = 92.16 -> x = 9

So, Perry would take 9 mins. to do the floor alone.

I hope this helped!

For 15 to 20, change the equation from y=mx+b into mx-y=-b
Example: 15) y=-5x+2 into -2=-5x-y or 2=5x+y
For 21-29, the numbers in the parenthesis are coordinates (x, y) so uh the equation y=mx+b plug in the m that is given and x and y and then solve for b to complete the equation
Ex: 21) (-8,3) m=2
Y=mx+b
3=2(3)+b
3=6+b
-3=b
So y=2x-3
Do the same to the others
