1) -4(12-3)+5(12)=24
-48+12+60=24
24=24
Therefore x=12
2.) -4(x-3)+5x=24
-4x+12+5x=24
-4x+5x=24-12
x=12

One pipe fills a storage pool in 20 hours, another pipe fills the same pool in 15 hours.

erica [24]

X=time of the third person it would take to fill the pool
We can suggest this equation:
6[(1/20) + (1/15) +(1/x)]=1
6[(3x+4x+60)/60x]=1
(7x+60)/10x=1
7x+60=10x
7x-10x=-60
-3x=-60
x=-60/-3
x=20

Answer: the third person alone would fill the pool in 20 hours .

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is a vertical line, so a perpendicular line will be a horizontal line. It will have an equation of the form ...

y = constant

In order for the line to go through the given point, the constant in the equation must be the same as the y-coordinate of the point: -2.

Your perpendicular line is ...
