1/9 + 1/2 = 1/x
Let x = length of time it will take both hoses to work together
Multiply both sides by 18x.
2x + 9x = 18
10x = 18
x = 18/10
x = 9/5
x = 1.8 hours
In other words, if both hoses work together, the pool can be filled in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
Answer:
= 10560 strides
Step-by-step explanation:
if 1 mile = 2640strides
4 miles = <u>4 miles x 2640 strides</u>
mile
= 10560 strides
Answer:
<em>i: </em>x=-2, x=1
<em>ii: </em>x=-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic form:
You solve <em>i </em>by using FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) because it is a multiplication problem.

<em>"first"</em> would be
, which would equal 
<em>"outside"</em> would be
, which would equal 
<em>"inside"</em> would be
, which would equal 
<em>"last" </em>would be
, which would equal 
Now you need to combine the terms so that they are one after the other

Combine like terms, and you should get:

i Solution
<em>You need to get the variable by itself.</em>
<em>Subtract two from both sides</em>

<em>Add one to both sides.</em>

ii Solution
<em>Add all the terms.</em>
