Answer:
3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of each pump = 40 gallons/min
We need to find find the number of gallons of water removed from the basement.
Solution:
Now Given:
After half an hour, the one pump burns out.
Now we know that;
1 hour = 60 mins
hour = 
Now for 30 mins both the pumps were working and removing the water.
So we can say that;
Water remove for first 30 mins = 
Also Given:
the second pump finishes removing the water half an hour later.
So we can say that;
Water removed for next 30 mins = 
Now we can say that;
Total water removed from the basement is equal to sum of Water remove for first 30 mins and Water removed for next 30 mins .
framing in equation form we get;
Total water removed from the basement = 
Hence 3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.
Answer:
a) x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 2x + 3 = 5
1. Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3
⟹ 2x = 2
2. Divide both sides by 2:
2x ÷ 2 = 2 ÷ 2
⟹ x = 1
3. Check your work:
2(1) + 3 = 5
2 + 3 = 5
⟹ 5 = 5 ✔
