If hose A takes x hours to fill the pool, hose B will take x+3 hours to fill the pool. So, each hour, A will fill \bf{\dfrac{1}{x}} parts of the pool and B will fill \bf{\dfrac{1}{x+3}} parts. Since using both hoses fills the pool completely, you have to:

                                                          \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ 1= \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+3}+\frac{1}{x+3}     } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ =\frac{2}{x}+\frac{2}{x+3}   } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ =\frac{2x+2x+6}{x(x+3)} } \end{gathered}$}

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ x^2+3x=4x+6\ \Longrightarrow\ \ 0=x^2-x-6=(x-3)(x+2) } \end{gathered}$}

Hose A takes 3 hours to fill the pool and Hose B takes 6 hours.

A school has a square courtyard and wants to create diagonal walkways. The length of each side
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Approximately 51 Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by cutting the square in half to make a right triangle. Than, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

a^2+b^2=c^2

36^2+36^2=c^2

1296+1296=c^2

2592=c^2

50.9116

Round to the nearest whole number since the question says approximately: 51

Which is greater 10 L or 1000 ML
velikii [3]
I am assuming you mean mL. So milliliters.
Milli is the thousandths.  
1,000 milliliters is 1 liter.
That would mean that 10L is greater than 1,00mL.

Hope this helps!
