Given :
Andrew has already played 32 minutes on his video game this morning and wants to play an additional 15 minutes on each of x games after school today.
To Find :
Which equation can be used to find y, the total minutes Andrew will play video games today.
Solution :
Number of minutes he play after school time, n = 15x .
Number of minutes already played, c = 32 .
So, total number of minutes he play games for today is :
y = n + c
y = 15x + 32
Therefore, equation which is useful to find number of minutes video game played per day is y = 15x + 32 .
Since
are in arithmetic progression,




and since
are in geometric progression,




Recall that


It follows that

so the left side is

Also recall that

so that the right side is

Solve for

Now, the numerator increases more slowly than the denominator, since

Answer:
It would take the newer pump 4.5 hours to drain the pool
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's investigate first what is the fraction of the job done in the unit of time (hour in this case) by each pump if the work individually:
older pump: if it takes it 9 hours to complete the job, it does
of the job in one hour.
newer pump: we don't know how long it takes (this is our unknown) so we call it "x hours". Therefore, in the unit of time (in one hour) it would have completed
of the total job.
both pumps together: since it takes both 3 hours to complete the job, in one hour they do
of the job.
Now, we can write the following equation about fractions of the job done:
<em>The fraction of the job done by the older pump plus the fraction of the job done by the newer pump in one hour should total the fraction of the job done when they work together.</em> That is in mathematical terms:

and solving for x:
