Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
Answer: x= -1
y= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x+3y= -2
y=x-1
-------------------
-4x+3(x-1)= -2
-4x+3x-3= -2
-x=1
x= -1
y=-1-1
y=-2
65.25 - 40.50 = How much longer the pool is than wide
= 24.75 longer
It is also or about 38%.
Answer:
C. X = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 3 + 5 = 2x + 7 - 8x
4x +2 = - 6x + 7
4x + 6x = 7 - 2
10x = 5
x = 1/2
