Girl 45 mins to Deliver papers on her route however if her brother have a good solid 20 minutes how long would it take if it was just her brother delivering papers

36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 45 mins to deliver paper on her route.

Let X be the amount of time it takes the brother to complete the route.

The brother works at the rate of 1/x route per min

The girl works at the at the rate of 1/45 route per min

Girl and brother working together works at rate of 1/20 route per min

1/x + 1/45 = 1/20

Multiply through by 180x

180 + 4x = 9x

4x - 9x = -180

-5x = -180

x = -180 / -5

x = 36 mins.

It takes the brother 36 minutes to complete route alone.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
