A tank with capacity T gallons is empty. Tank will be filled in \frac{t}{(x - y)} minutes

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, A tank with capacity T gallons is empty.  

We have to find how many minutes will tank be filled?

Now, Water flows into the tank from pipe X at the rate of X gallons per minute,  

And water is pumped out by pipe Y at the rate Y gallons per minute,  

Then, together in one minute the amount of water filled will be x – y gallons  [as X is greater than Y]

Now, the time take to fill tank = =\frac{\text { capacity of tank }}{\text { amount of water filled per minute }}=\frac{t}{x-y}

Hence tank will be filled in \frac{t}{(x - y)} minutes

aliina [53]
Y = 3x - 4.....x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
0 = 3x - 4
-3x = -4
x = -4/-3
x = 4/3...so the x int = (4/3,0)

y - 2/3x = 0....in y = mx + b form, the m represents the slope. So ur slope is -2/3
