Answer:

  • George is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

George is g and Mike is m

  • g = 2m - 5
  • g + m = 31

Substitute g in the second equation

  • 2m - 5 + m = 31
  • 3m - 5 = 31
  • 3m = 36
  • m = 12

Finding g

  • g = 2*12 - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

An aquifer holds 146,000 cubic feet of water. Water exits through a well at a steady rate of 500 cubic feet per day, and the aqu
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The value of x = 100  ft^3/ day

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to look at what amount of water comes in and what amount of water leaves

What comes in:  x ft^3/ day

What leaves : 500x ft^3/ day

We start with 146 000 ft^3

Water in tank = what we start with + what comes in - what leaves

water in tank = 146000 + x*d - 500*d  where d is the number of days

After 365 days , the tank has 0 ft^3 of water

0  = 146000 + x*365 - 500*365

Multiply

0 = 146000 + 365x - 182500

Combine like terms

0 = -36500+365x

Add 36500 to each side

36500 = 36500-36500+365x

36500 = 365x

Divide by 365

36500/365 = 365x/365

100=x

The value of x = 100
