<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour 
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour 
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72 

So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool) 

</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
 </span>
<span>Now solve for x 
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>

You know that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180
we will add all the angles,
(x+8)+(2x-8)+(3x-12)=180
x+8+2x-8+3x-12=180    8 and -8 cancel out 
6x-12=180
6x=180+12
6x=192
x=192/6=32
x=32

Please help i will give brainliest
inysia [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the area of the yard and subtract from it the area of the pool.  In quadratic form, the area of the pool is

2x^2-x-28

Subtracting the area of the pool from the area of the yard:

3x^2-14x-5-(2x^2-x-28)

Since the negative in front of the parenthesis will change the signs inside:

3x^2-14x-5-2x^2+x+28

Combine like terms to get the area left after the pool goes in:

x^2-13x+23
