Two teams working together can finish a job in 8 days. if the first team works alone for two days and the second team works alone for 5 days, 5/8 of the total work still remains. How many days will it take each team to finish the work alone?

x is the days that the first team finishes the work alone (x>8)

y --------------------------second-----------------------------------------(y>8)

In a day:

⇒          [tex]\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y} =\frac{1}{8}[/tex]               (1)

If the first team works alone for two days and the second team works alone for 5 days, 5/8 of the total work still remains:

⇒          [tex]\frac{2}{x}+\frac{5}{y}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]                (2)

(1),(2)   ⇒   [tex]\left \{ {{\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y} =\frac{1}{8}} \atop {\frac{2}{x}+\frac{5}{y}=\frac{3}{8}}} \right. <=>\left \{ {{x=16} \atop {y=24}} \right.[/tex]

It'll take the first team 16 days and the second team 24 days to finish the work alone

ok done. Thank to me :>

Joan represents the height at which a sea gull is flying at +4 feet and the depth at which a fish is swimming at −3 feet on a number line, where 0 represents the surface of the water. Which of these explains whether the sea gull or the fish is closer to the surface of the water? The fish is closer to the surface of the water because |+4| = 4 and |−3| = 3, and 3 < 4. The fish is closer to the surface of the water because |+4| = 4 and − |−3| = −3, and −3 < 4. The sea gull is closer to the surface of the water because |+4| = −4 and |−3| = −3, and −3 > −4. The sea gull is closer to the surface of the water because |+4| = 4 and − |−3| = 3, and 4 > 3.

Can someone help me with these?
