Equation 2.
length=3w, new length=2+3w, new width=1+w
New Perimeter=62=2(new length+new width)
62=2(2+3w+1+w) => 62=2(3+4w)

Answer:
60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.
takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>
LCM (20, 30) = 60
<u>To find the efficiency </u>
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
x = 60/30 =2
x + y = 60 /20 = 3
Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1
so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes
