Answer: Time taken by pipe C to empty the tank = 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pipe A can fill a tank in 5 hours.
Let time taken by Pipe C = x ( hours)
Time taken by Pipe B = x-2 ( hours)
Now, with all 3 pipes open, it takes 3 hours to fill the tank, it can be represented as

Time cannot be negative,
So, x=5
Thus, Time taken by pipe C to empty the tank = 5 hours.
Since each side of this triangle is 6 units long, the perimeter would be 6+6+6=18 units. The area would be about 15.6 units.
Plug in -2 for x for every function and set every function to 0. If it equals 0 then there's a "zero" at x=-2
Example A: 0 = (-2+2)^2 - 5 = 0 - 5 = -5 <-- This does not = 0 so it's not the answer
