$\bold{[ \ Answer \ ]}$

$\boxed{\bold{5b \ - \ 5}}$

$\bold{[ \ Explanation \ ]}$

$\bold{Simplify: \ 5(b \ - \ 1)}$

$\bold{------------------}$

$\bold{Apply \ Distributive \ Law \ (\:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac): \ a \ = \ 5, b \ = \ b, c \ = \ 1}$

$\bold{5b \ - \ 5 \ * \ 1}$

$\bold{Multiply \ Numbers: \ 5 \ * \ 1 \ = \ 5}$

$\bold{5b \ - \ 5}$

$\boxed{\bold{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}}$

The formula d = rt can be used to calculate the distance (d) an object travels using its rate of speed (r) and the time it trave

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Start with d=rt. Now, solve for r by isolating it. since r is multiplied by t, divide both sides by t. d/t=r. So your answer would be the 2nd choice.

Officials begin to release water from a full man-made lake at a rate that would empty the lake in 10 weeks, but a river that can

Romashka [77]

Answer:

It takes 20 weeks to empty the lake

Step-by-step explanation:

Some rate, let's call it $R_{empty}$ empties the lake in 10 weeks and a river (with rate $R_{river}$ can fill the lake in 20 weeks. The idea behind the solution of this type of problem is always set the rate to the same units. Let's see this:

$R_{empty}=\frac{1\ lake}{10\ weeks}$ which implies that this rate empties 0.1 of the lake per week, thus, $R_{empty}=0.1/week$ .

Using the same idea, we can obtain that the filling rate of the river is:

$R_{river}=\frac{1\ lake}{20\ weeks} = 0.05 /week$

Since both rates are acting at the same time, the total rate of flowing water (either in or out the lake) would be given by:

$R_{total}=R_{empty}+R_{river}\\R_{total}= -0.1 + 0.05=-0.05/week$ , which means that the lake is being empty at a rate of -0.05 week and using the rule of three:

$\frac{0.05}{1} = \frac{1}{total\ of\ weeks} \\total\ of\ weeks = \frac{1}{0.05}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20} }\\ total\ of\ weeks = 20$

Thus, It takes 20 weeks to empty the lake.
