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

Alan's go kart travels 1750 feet per minute and Barry's go kart travels 21 miles per hour whose go kart travels faster round you
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Barry's kart is faster as he goes 21 Mph while Alan only goes 19.89 Mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

First to get this answer we need to convert feet per minute to miles per hour. So we multiple 1750 feet per minute by 60 to get a hour. This gets up 105000 total feet in a hour. Now we need to divide this by 5280, which is how long a mile is, to get 19.89 miles which is how many miles he travels in a hour making him travel 19.89 mph which is less than 21 making Barry faster.

The equation 10x + 5y = 150​
Verdich [7]

Answer:

x = 14.5      y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

get the x alone by subtracting 5y from both sides

10x + 5y = 150

      - 5y    -5y

10x = -5y + 150

divide both sides by 10

<u>10x</u> = <u>-5y + 150</u>

10            10

x = -0.5y + 15

Now that we've solved for x, we can plug it into the original equation

10 (-0.5y + 15) + 5y = 150

now we solve for y the same way we did x

first distribute 10 into (-0.5y + 15)

-5 + 150 +5y = 150

now we get the y alone

-5 + 150 + 5y = 150

+5  -150            -150 +5

5y = 5

now divide by 5

<u>5y</u> = <u>5</u>

5     5

y = 1

now that we have both x and y, we plug y into our solution for x

x = -0.5y + 15

x = -0.5(1) + 15

x= -0.5 + 15

x = 14.5
