Answer:

Pool A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved through ratios. You would write it as \frac{gallons}{minutes} So, \frac{2/3}{15} for the first one, and \frac{2/3}{20} for the second. You might want to use a calculator for that part, but you could also change the gallons to cups, which gives you a much better number of 10.515. So, \frac{10.515}{15} = 0.701, and \frac{10.515}{20} = 0.52575 So, pool A is at a faster rate. If you want it in gallons per minute, it's by 0.01 (with the 1 repeating) gallons per minute. By cups, it's 0.17525 cups per minute.

(The reason I did not do this by cross multiplying and dividing ratios is because it gives you the exact same answer if you are finding it per one, as I am here with per one minute. You can do it this way, it just wastes a bit of time.)

4(x-3)-(2x+5)=-3x-27

4(x-3)-(2x+5)=-3x-27
4*x - 4*3 - 2x - 5 = -3x - 27
4x - 12 - 2x - 5 = -3x - 27
2x - 17 = -3x - 27
2x + 3x = -27 + 17
5x = -10 / : 5
x = -2

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!<br> Find x
sineoko [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{48}{2x + 7}  =  \frac{40}{5x - 2}  \\ 48(5x - 2) = 40(2x + 7) \\ 240x - 96 = 80x + 280 \\ 240x - 80x = 96 + 280 \\ 160x = 376 \\  \frac{160x}{160}  =  \frac{376}{160}  \\ x = 2.35

I try to solve it but I didn't get any of the choices <br> Thank you for helping me

The answer is 7. You can look at it like this. The two triangles are similar and the larger one's sides are twice the size of the smaller one's. So then we know GF is twice the size of JK.
