Cant find the answer

Answer:

Carter family = 25 hours

Davis family = 31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.

So combined:

x + y = 45 hours

and we are also told that:

40x + 15y = 1300 L

So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.

With some rearranging, we can figure out that:

y= 45 - x

and by substituting that into the second equation:

40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L

25x = 1300 - 675

25x = 625

x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler

and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:

25 + y = 56

y = 31

The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.

X-9= 1/4x + (1/4x + 12) + (1/4x - 3) what’s that answer?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the problem simpler by eliminating the fractional coefficients:

x-9= 1/4x + (1/4x + 12) + (1/4x - 3), when multiplied by 4, becomes:

4x - 36 = x + x + 48 + x - 12

Summing up all the x terms, we get:

4x - 2x - x = 48 - 12 + 36

Then x = 72

-9.b = 45<br> b =<br> What is the answer I need to know the answe
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

b=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide by -9 to eliminate the -9 on -9b

(Since -9b is the same thing as -9 times b we can use the inverse of multiplication which is division to eliminate the -9 from b but we need to do it on both sides to make it balance)

-9b/-9=45/-9

b=-5

irga5000 [103]
She is incorrect. It doesn’t matter what sides you label a or b but c matters. The longest side (the hypotenuse) is always c.

Choose the answer that best translates
Kryger [21]

Answer:

OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>3a - 5</h2>

3 and 'a' are multiplied and 5 is subtracted from the result.

OPTION B says 5 less than 3 times a number would fit perfectly.

Other options talk about adding or taking ratios and clearly do not fit the case.

Hence, the right answer is Option B.
