Ok so we know that in ONE second, the dam releases 40000 gallons of water. In ONE minute, there are 60 seconds. Therefore...

1 second----------------40000 gallons
60 seconds--------------? ( this is what we're trying to find.

To get from 1 to 60, we multiplied by 60. Now we do it on the other side. 40000 times 60 is 2,400,000, so the rate in gallons per minute is 2,400,000 gallons per minute

Answer:

Water releases in 1 minute  = 2400000 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : One of the valves on the Hoover Dam releases 40000 gallons of water per second.

To find : what is the rate in gallons per minute.

Solution : We have given

Water releases in 1 second = 40000 gallons.

1 minute = 60 second.

Water releases in 60 second = 40000 * 60 gallons.

Water releases in 1 minute  = 2400000 gallons.

Therefore, Water releases in 1 minute  = 2400000 gallons.

Solve for x: 4(x-2)+6=2(5x-6)
Katarina [22]

4(x - 2) + 6 = 2(5x - 6)     <em>use distributive property</em>

(4)(x) + (4)(-2) + 6 = (2)(5x) + (2)(-6)

4x - 8 + 6 = 10x - 12

4x - 2 = 10x - 12       <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

4x = 10x - 10       <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>

-6x = -10      <em>divide both sides by (-6)</em>

x = 10/6

<h3>x = 5/3</h3>

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1/4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest
Sati [7]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x

Multiply through by x(x + 15):

150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0

1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3

x = 180/3 or -225/3

x = 60 or -75

But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10  hours.
