Answer:

2 hours for the 2 pipes

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pipe for a tank is 4 hours, but since 2 pipes is 2 hours less, it would take the two pipes together 2 hours

X = time it takes for the second pipe to fill the tank
x-2 = time it takes for both pipes to fill the tank
1/4 = portion of the tank filled by the first pipe in one hour
1/x = portion of the tank filled by the second pipe in one hour
1/(x-2) = portion of the tank filled by both pipes

Now you have your equation,
1/4 + 1/x = 1/(x-2)

You should be good now

astraxan [27]

Red = r

Blue = b

Green = g


Step 1: Write as algebraic equations.

r = b + 6

g = b - 4


Step 2: Merge the two equations together to form one, by adding them together.

r + g = b + b + 6 - 4


Step 3: Simplify.

r + g = 2b + 2


Step 4: Make b the subject.

2b + 2 = r + g

2b = r + g - 2

b = 0.5(r + g - 2)


ANSWER

b = 0.5(r + g - 2)
