Write an equivalent expression to

mel-nik [20]

1. Distributive Property.
<span>4(3a + 7) + 3(2a + 5)
12a + 28 + 6a + 20

2. Combine like terms
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
18a +48

The equivalent expression is 18a + 48. If a = anything then the expressions will still be equivalent.

No -- other factors will influence whether your happy or not. Saying that is true is inductive reasoning, which is prone to error

Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i

jeka94

Let $a,b,c$ be the time it takes for pumps A, B, and C (respectively) to fill 1 tank. Then

$\begin{cases}\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b=\dfrac1{\frac65}=\dfrac56\\\\\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c=\dfrac1{\frac32}=\dfrac23\\\\\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\end{cases}$

Now,

$\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b\right)-\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac56-\dfrac23\implies\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c=\dfrac16$

Then

$\left(\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c\right)+\left(\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac12+\dfrac16\implies\dfrac2b=\dfrac23\implies b=3$

This means

$\dfrac1a+\dfrac13=\dfrac56\implies\dfrac1a=\dfrac12\implies a=2$

and

$\dfrac13+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\implies\dfrac1c=\dfrac16\implies c=6$

Working together, all 3 pumps would operate at a rate of

$\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1$

or 1 tank in 1 hour, so the answer is D.
