These are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent, so you can set their values equal to each other to solve for x.

2x + 2 = 3x - 52 Vertical angles are congruent
2x = 3x - 54 Subtract 2 from both sides
-x = -54 Subtract 3x from both sides
x = 54 Divide both sides by -1

Answer:
x = 54

Pipe A can fill 3 tanks in 8 minutes. Pipe B can fill 5 tanks in 10 minutes. How long will it take for them to fill a single tan

Nata [24]

Answer:

c =4 4/9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

1/a + 1/b = 1/c where a and b is the time for each working alone and c is the time working together

1/8 + 1/10 = 1/c

Multiply by 40c to clear the fractions ( 40c is the least common multiple)

40c(1/8 + 1/10 = 1/c)

5c + 4c = 40)

9c = 40

Divide by 9

9c/9 = 40/9

c =4 4/9 minutes

PLEASE HELP Evaluate the limit, if it exists. Show work. lim_(x->5)((x^(2)-3x-10)/(2x-10))

Answer:

$lim \: x \: —>5 \: \: \frac{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 10 }{2x - 10} \\ \\ lim \: x \: —>5 \: \: \: \frac{(x - 5)(x + 2)}{2(x - 5)} \\ \\ lim \: x \: —>5 \: \: \frac{(x + 2)}{2} = \frac{5 + 2}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \\ \\ \\ = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5$
