Answer: 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Working alone at their respective constant rates, machine A and machine B can fill a certain order in 3 hours and 6 hours, respectively.

Let t be the time taken by both of them working together.

Then, according to the question, we have

\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{2+1}{6}\ \ [\because\ L.C.M. (3,6)=6]\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=2

Hence, it will take 2 hours by the two machines .

Express 1500ml as a percentage of 7.5 litres?
aniked [119]
First of all change <span>milliliters</span> to litres.

1500 ml = 1,5 l

Now, 
you know that 7,5 l = 100% (the whole amound)
and you are asking how much is: 1,5 l of the whole, so you got:

7,5 = 100%
1,5 = x%

7,5 x = 150
x = 150 / 7,5
x = 20%

Answer: 1500 ml is a 20% of the 7,5 litres.

SOVA2 [1]

$f(x)+f(x+1) \stackrel{1}{=} 3^x+3^{x+1} \stackrel{2}{=} 3^x+3^x\cdot3^1\stackrel{3}{=}3^x+3\cdot3^x\stackrel{4}{=}4\cdot3^x\stackrel{5}{=}4\cdot f(x)

1) Substitution from definition.

2) We use $x^{a+b}=x^a\cdot x^b

3) We are changing the order of 3 and 3^x.

4) We add 1 and 3 3^x and we get 4\cdot 3^x

5) Substitution from definition (but the other way than at the beginning).

PLZ HELP I will give the brain!! Which of the following statements is true about completing the​ square? 1. When completing the
Helen [10]

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing the square, you have to find the number that will allow you to find the perfect square trinomials and when you factor that it should get the form a^2 + 2ab + b^2 and if a is equal to 1, then to find b, you have to take the half of the coefficient and square it because of the equation, and to maintain a balanced equation, you have to add it to both sides (same to both sides)

Hope this helped.

What is the image of (x, y) after a translation of 3 units right and 7 units down?
fenix001 [56]

Translation involves changing the position of a shape.

The image of point (x,y) after a translation of 3 units right and 7 units down is: \mathbf{(x - 3,y - 7)}

The point is given as: (x,y)

The rule of translation 3 units right is:

\mathbf{(x,y) \to (x-3,y)}

The rule of translating 7 units down is:

\mathbf{(x,y) \to (x,y - 7)}

So, we have:

\mathbf{(x - 3,y) \to (x - 3,y - 7)}

Hence, the image of point (x,y) after a translation of 3 units right and 7 units down is: \mathbf{(x - 3,y - 7)}
