Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since vertical angles are equal, we can set these two expressions equal to each other to solve for x:
(1/2)x + 12 = (3/4)x + 8
12 = 0.25x + 8
4 = 0.25x
16 = x
You need the first term and the common ratio.
Answer:
x = 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If one pipe fills store pool in 12 hours in 1 hour will fill 1/12 of the pool
If one pipe fills a store pool in 6 hours in 1 hour will fill 1/6 of the pool
Let call " x " number of hours needed by the third pipe to fills the pool
then in 1 hour will fill 1/x
The three pipes working together in 1 hour will fill
1/12 + 1/6 + 1/x
Now we know that the three pipes take 3 hours to fill the pool then in 1 hour three pipes will fill 1/3 of the pool, therefore
1/12 + 1/6 + 1/x = 1/3
( x + 2*x + 12) /12*x = 1/3 ⇒ ( 3*x +12 )/ 12*x = 1/3
9*x + 36 = 12*x
- 3*x = - 36
x = 36/3
x = 12 hours
Answer:
the answer is C - 11/3
Step-by-step explanation:
solve this by multiplying the whole number (in this case 3) by the denominator (in this case 3) and adding the product to the numerator (in this case 2)
3*3=9+2=11 so the answer is 11/3
Answer: 5a + 5b + 5 - x(a + b)
Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b + 1)2 – (a + b + 1)(x - 2) + (a + b + 1)
2a + 2b + 2 - (ax - 2a + bx -2b -2) + (a + b + 1)
2a + 2b + 2 - ax + 2a - bx +2b +2 + a + b + 1
5a + 5b + 5 - x(a + b)
