Every hour, the tank would fill 1/4 of the way, but it would be set back by 1/6 of it's original progress due to the emptying. So how much progress did it actually make in that hour? 1/4 - 1/6 = 0.08333333. It filled 0.0833...%

This would mean '1' = 100%, so we have the equation 0.0833... x ? = 1

Well, 0.083333 is equal to the fraction 1/12. Also, 0.083333 x 12 equals 1. You can take either of those two routes to find your answer, but we can tell either way that it takes 12 hours.

Answer:

12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 hour if the tap filling the tank runs on its own it will fill 1/4 of the tank. But if the tap that empties the tank is run at the same time it empties 1/6 of the tank. So the net result in 1 hour is that 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12 of the tank is filled.

In the next hour the same thing happens - another 1/12 is filled.

So the tank will be filled in 12 hours.

How do I simplify by combining these numbers -3x - 5y + 2x + 10y
Wewaii [24]
They are basically like groups. Take -3x+2x , Just do -3 +2 = -1 and then just add the x. So -1x. Next you have -5y+10y . Just do -5 + 10 = 5 and remember to add the x on so your final answer should be -1x + 5y

2.Solve the following quadratic equations<br> i. 9x^2 - 1/16<br> ii. 2h^2 - 3h - 27
Juli2301 [7.4K]
i)~9x^2-\dfrac{1}{16}=0\iff9x^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\iff x^2=\dfrac{1}{9\cdot16}\iff \\\\x^2=\dfrac{1}{144}\iff x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{144}}=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}\Longrightarrow\boxed{x=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}}


ii)~2h^2-3h-27=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-27)\to\Delta=9+216=225\\\\&#10;\Longrightarrow h=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{225}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{3\pm15}{4}\\\\\begin{cases}h_1=\dfrac{3+15}{4}=\dfrac{18}{4}\iff \boxed{h_1=\dfrac{9}{2}}\\h_2=\dfrac{3-15}{4}=\dfrac{-12}{4}\iff\boxed{h_2=-3}\end{cases}

F(x)=1+log4^x the 4 is low to the log
SVEN [57.7K]
Well, if you subtract one you get -1=log4^x. base four on each side: 4(to the power of negative 1)=4(to the power of log base four) x. Four to the power of log base 4 cancels, and you're left with 4 to the power of -1=x. the negative exponent recipricates, so x=1/4. you're welcome.
