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

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

8820 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Selecting 4 pairs of pant from 8 available and selecting 5 shirts from 9 available

Using combination :

4 pants from 8 = 8C4

5 shirts from 9 = 9C5

Recall:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

8C4 * 9C5 = [8! /(8-4)!4!] * [9! /(9-5)!5!]

8C4 * 9C5 = (8! /4!4!) * (9! /4!5!)

8C4 * 9C5 = 70 * 126

8C4 * 9C5 = 8820 ways
