Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of filling from both pipes is the sum of the rates in units of tanks per hour. We want the time for 2/3 of a tank.

<h3>Sum of rates</h3>

The sum of the filling rates is ...

  rate A + rate B = (1/3) tank/hour + (1/2) tank/hour = 5/6 tank/hour

<h3>Fill time</h3>

The time to fill a tank or part thereof will be the number of tanks divided by the rate in tanks per hour:

  time = (2/3 tank)/(5/6 tank/hour) = ((4/6)/(5/6)) hour = 4/5 hour

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the fill time is ...

  (4/5 hour)×(60 min/hour) = 48 min

It will take 48 minutes for both pipes to fill 2/3 of the tank.

22/20 in simplest form
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 22/20 in simplest form would be 11/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find simplest form, you need to reduce the fraction down by a common factor, for instance 2. 22/2 is 11 (which is your numerator) and 20/2 is 10 (which is your denominator).

Solve.<br><br> −7x = x2 + 12
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

x = - 4 , x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- 7x = x^2 + 12

Take all terms to one side of equation.

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0

Find which 2 numbers multiply to give 12 and add to give 7.

a × b = 12

a + b = 7

a = 4

b = 3

Split the middle term using these 2 numbers.

x^2 + 4x + 3x + 12 = 0

Factorise each pair of terms separately.

x ( x + 4 ) + 3 ( x + 4 ) = 0

Bring out common factor of ( x + 4 ) and factorise.

( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0

Using the Null factor law, make the expressions in each pair of parentheses equal 0.

x + 4 = 0

x = - 4

AND

x + 3 = 0

x = - 3

THEREFORE:

x = - 4 , x = - 3
