The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.

<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>

let

  • cost of redwood = x
  • cost of pine = y

50x + 70y = 280

100x + 60y = 440

Multiply (1) by 2

100x + 140y = 560

100x + 60y = 440

subtract to eliminate x

80y = 120

y = 120/80

y = $1.5

substitute y = 1.5 into (1)

50x + 70y = 280

50x + 70(1.5) = 280

50x + 105 = 280

50x = 280 - 105

50x = 175

x = 175 / 50

x = $3.5

Two pipes running together can fill a tank in 20 minutes.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

45, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.

x-y=9

(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n

n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n

here u get:

(1/x+1/y)*20=1

you sub x=9+y into the above equation

1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20

((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)

180+40y=9y+y2

y2-31y-180=0

then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5

-5 is rejected because it is negative

x=36+9=45

therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins
