The Ross family and the Russell family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Ross family's sprin

kler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Russell family's sprinkler was 30L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1725L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Answer:

Ross = 15 hours

Russel = 40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ross have used their sprinklers for x hours

Let Russell  have used their sprinklers for y hours

Together they used 55 hours

x+y = 55 hours

The output of Ross is 35 liters per hour and Russell is 30 liters per hour for a total of 1725

35x + 30y = 1725

Multiply the first equation by -30

-30(x+y=55)

-30x -30y = -1650

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

-30x -30y = -1650

35x + 30y = 1725

-----------------------------

5x =75

Divide each side by 5

x = 15

Now find y

x+y = 55

y = 55-15

y = 40

Answer:

x^3  <-- exponent, x to the power of three

Explanation:

x(x+2)(x+4)

=(x(x+2))(x+4)

=(x(x+2))(x)+(x(x+2))(4)

=x^3+2x^2+4x^2+8x

=x^3+6x^2+8x

elena-s [515]

Answer:

It will take 15 years for $500 to yield $900 at an interest rate of 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest equals Principal times Rate times The time in years,

That is SI = P*R*T

SI is $900

P = $500

R = 0.12

T i.e. Time is unknown

T will be equal to SI divided by P*R

i.e., T = SI/PR

T = $900/$500*0.12 = 900/60

T = 15 years.

Therefore, it will take $500 investment to yield $900 interest in 15 years at an interest rate of 0.12

A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC b
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 180 degrees (supplementary angles)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)

Step 2: m∠w − m∠z = 90 degrees (corresponding angles)  

We are adding the angles to form a straight line which is 180 degrees

Step 3: Therefore, m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = m∠w + m∠z

Step 4: So, m∠x + m∠y = m∠w
