5 - 10 x = 3
10 x = 5 - 3
10 x = 2
x = 10 : 5
x = 0.2
The rate is : 0.2 gallons / minute
5 - t * 0.2 = 0
t * 0.2 = 5
t = 5 : 0.2
t = 25 min
Answer: After 25 minutes the container will be empty.
Answer:
Let x represent the number from the sentence.
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x) + 2(1/x) = 20/3
2x + 2/x = 20/3
multiply both sides of the equation by 3x
6x + 6 = 20x
6x - 20x + 6 = 0
6x - 18x - 2x + 6 = 0
6x(x-3 -2(x-3) = 0
(6x-2 = 0 or x-3 = 0
6x = 2 or x = 3
x = 2/6
x = 1/3
Since x represented the number
Therefore x = 1/3 or 3
Answer:
3102x
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour. So 8:15 is 8.25 hours.
(8.25 hours/day) x ( 9 $/hour) x (5 days) = $371.25
Answer:
The diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required (Missing from the question)
When will the diver hit the water?
To do this, we simply solve for t
When the diver hits the water, the height is 0 (at that point)
So, substitute 0 for h in 

Divide both sides by -16




Split
or 
Solve for t
or 
But time (t) can not be negative.
So:

Hence, the diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds
