Answer:

40 hours will it take for the pool to fill.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pump can fill a swimming pool in 8 hours.

Work done by pump to fill in 1 hour is  \frac{1}{8}

The pool also has a drain that can empty the pool in 10 hours.

Work done by pump to drain in 1 hour is  \frac{1}{10}

If someone turns on the pump to fill the pool, but forgets to shut the drain.

Work done by both pipe in 1 hour is

W=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{10}

W=\frac{10-8}{80}

W=\frac{2}{80}

W=\frac{1}{40}

Both pipe filled \frac{1}{40} part of pool in hours = 1

Both pipe filled complete pool in hours = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{40}}=40

Therefore, 40 hours will it take for the pool to fill.

Answer:

The equation is y=2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=7

2y=-4x+7

y=-2x+7/2

Hence, the gradient =-2

Note that: parallel lines share the same gradient

sub m(gradient)=-2 and the point (1,0) into y=mx+c

0=-2(1)+c

c=2

Therefore, the equation in the form of y=mx+c is y=-2x+2
