Answer:
f(7) = 22 or x =2
Step-by-step explanation:
- f(x) = 3x + 1
- f(7) = 3(7) + 1
- f(7) = 21 + 1
- f(7) = 22
<u>Or if the equation meant it like this:</u>
- f(x) = 3x + 1
- 7 = 3x + 1
- 6 = 3x
- 2 = x
Answer: 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open
1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe
1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain
1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open
Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x
Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain
2x - x = 12
x = 12 hours
It would be twice whatever the midsegment equals.
