X=time of the third person it would take to fill the pool
We can suggest this equation:
6[(1/20) + (1/15) +(1/x)]=1
6[(3x+4x+60)/60x]=1
(7x+60)/10x=1
7x+60=10x
7x-10x=-60
-3x=-60
x=-60/-3
x=20
Answer: the third person alone would fill the pool in 20 hours .
Answer:
x > -7/17
Step-by-step explanation:
You first divide -7 by 17 to isolate the variable, (x).
And thats it!
Yes it is. A gallon is 4 quarts, so he has more than enough. He has 2 quarts extra.
Your max amount for this is $20. Let's say x represents the number of gallons.
20 ≥ 3.2x
x = 6.25 gallons
If they're asking for integers or whole numbers, you'd round down to 6 because you only have enough money for 6 full gallons. If you rounded up to 7, you wouldn't be able to fill it up completely because then you'd be over your $20.00 budget for gas.
