Answer:
Pipe 1 alone fills a tank in 10 min
Pipe 2 alone fills the tank in 20 min
If both are turned on together, how long will it take to fill the tank???
Pipe 1 fills at the RATE of 1/10th tank per min
Pipe 2 fills at the RATE of 1/20th tank per min
Pipe 1 + Pipe 2 fills at the rate of 1/10+1/20 or 3/20th tank per min
Let x= time to fill the tank
(3/20)(x)=1 Where 1 denotes a full tank (Multiply both sides by 20)
3x=20
x=6 2/3 min----------both working together
NOW YOUR PROBLEM
Let x= amount of time for smaller pipe to fill the tank
Then (x-5)=amount of time for larger pipe to fill the tank
NOW HERE'S WHERE THE RECIPROCAL COMES IN:
The smaller pipe fills the tank at the RATE of 1/x cu units per min
The larger tank fills the tank at the RATE of 1/(x-5) cu units per min
Together, they fill the tank at the rate of 1/x+(1/(x-5)) cu units per min
But now we are told that together the fill the tank in 11 1/9 minutes. so our equation to solve is:
(1/x+(1/(x-5))(11 1/9)=1 where 1 denotes a full tank. In fact, in each of the above reciprocals, the 1 denotes a full tank.
So, dividing both sides by 11 1/9, we get:
1/x+(1/(x-5)=1/(11 1/9)-------------- which is your equation
I assume that you have no problems solviing this eq.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Two non zero vectors, a and b are parallel when they are scalar multiples of each other such that a = c·b where c is a scalar quantity.
Therefore, in order to find a vector that is parallel to the vector, b = (-2, -1), we multiply the vector, b by a scaler quantity
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the vector b = (-2, -1) can be written as follows;
b = -2·i - j, we have;
= √((-2)² + (-1)²) = √5
Therefore, we have;
The coordinates of the endpoint of the vector are (-2, 0) and (0, -1)
Therefore, the slope of the vector = (-1 - 0)/(0 - (-2)) = -1/2
The slope of parallel vectors are equal, which gives the slope of the parallel vector = -1/2 = (λ × (-1 - 0))/(λ ×(0 - (-2))
Therefore, a parallel vector is obtained from a vector by multiplying with a scaler product.
