Answer:

It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
  2. Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
  3. Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
  4. If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
  5. They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
  6. This is 1 minute 12 seconds

Solve each question and check your solution <br> -2(3x-4)=4(x+3)+6
agasfer [191]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x-4)=4(x+3)+6

Distribute

-6x +8 = 4x +12 +6

Combine like terms

-6x +8 = 4x+18

Add 6x to each side

-6x+6x +8 = 4x+6x +18

8 = 10x+18

Subtract 18 from each side

8-18 =10x+18-18

-10 = 10x

Divide each side by 10

-10/10 = 10x/10

-1 =x
