<span>4(x - 3) - 5(x + 1) = 3
4x - 12 - 5x - 5 = 3
-12 - 5 - 3 = 5x - 4x
x = -20

Answer:
156
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Sandwiches sold by Adam, Matt and Clinton = 2x, 7x and 3x
Total sandwiches = 2x + 7x + 3x
=> 12x
But its given that Matt sold 91 sandwiches
So,
7x = 91
x = 91/7
x = 13
=> Total sandwiches = 12x = 12(13) = 156
<span>Let x=amount of time it takes both pipes draining together to empty the pool
First pipe empties at the rate of 540,000/150=3600 liters/min
Second pipe empties at the rate of 540,000/225=2400 liters/min
Together, both pipes empties at the rate of 3600+2400=6000 liters/min, so our equation to solve is:
6000*x=540000 </span>
