Answer: after 40 seconds, the two tanks will have the same amount of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of seconds after which both tanks will have the same amount of water.

A fish tank has 150 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 1/2 gallons each second. It means that the number of gallons of water that would be in the tank after t seconds is

150 - 0.5t

A second fish tank has 120 gallons and it is being filled at a rate of 1/4 gallons each second. It means that the number of gallons of water that would be in the tank after t seconds is

120 + 0.25t

For the volume of both tanks to he the same, then

120 + 0.25t = 150 - 0.5t

0.25t + 0.5t = 150 - 120

0.75t = 30

t = 40 seconds

A(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x-x-10 What is a+b?
igor_vitrenko [27]

a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10

(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)

a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10

Now this equation is much simpler!

(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10

(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11

(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0

a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x

I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.

The triangle has side lengths 10cm, 24cm, and 28cm, is it a right triangle? Explain please i dont understand
Nitella [24]

In every right triangle, if you add up the squares of the two
shorter sides, you get the square of the longest side. If you
don't then it's not a right triangle.

10² = 100
24² = 576

100 + 576 = 676

676 is the square of 26. 
It's NOT the square of 28.

So 10 - 24 - 28 is not a right triangle.
