Because there are 2 pints in a quart, 712 quarts would equal 1,424 pints.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Rate of Long family's sprinkler is 25 L/hr
rate of Harris family's sprinkler is 35 L/hr
Total time for which sprinkler is used =55 hr
Let long family run their sprinkler for x hr
therefore Harris family time=55-x
Total volume collected=1625 L
thus
25x+1925-35x=1625
1925-1625=10x
300=10x
x=30 hr
long family used for 30 hr and Harris family used for 20 hr
Answer:
x = 1
y = 5
z = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations:
6x - 2y + z = -2
2x + 3y - 3z = 11
x + 6y = 31
Isolate one variable in any of the equations:
x + 6y = 31
x = 31 - 6y
Plug in this value for x in another equation:
6(31 - 6y) - 2y + z = -2
186 - 36y - 2y + z = -2
186 - 38y + z = -2
-38y + z = -188
z = -188 + 38y
Plug in these values in the remaining equation:
2(31 - 6y) + 3y - 3(-188 + 38y) = 11
62 - 12y + 3y + 564 - 114y = 11
626 - 12y + 3y - 114y = 11
626 - 9y - 114y = 11
626 - 123y = 11
-123y = -615
y = 5
Plug in value of y into our other answers to solve for x and z:
x = 31 - 6(5)
x = 31 - 30
x = 1
z = -188 + 38(5)
z = -188 + 190
z = 2
Check your work:
6x - 2y + z = -2
6(1) - 2(5) + 2 = -2
6 - 10 + 2 = -2
-4 + 2 = -2
-2 = -2
Correct!
