Answer: It will take the largest pipe 5.5 hours to fill the swimming pool alone.

It will take the smallest pipe 16.5 hrs to fill the swimming pool alone.

It will take the other pipe 11 hours to fill the pool alone.

Step-by-step explanation: let time needed to fill the swimming pool by the largest pipe be x ... eq (1)

Let time needed to fill the swimming pool by the smallest pipe be 3x ... eq(2)

Let time needed to fill the swimming pool by the other pipe be 2x ...eq(3)

The job to be done (to fill a swimming pool) be 3/x +3/3x+3/2x=1 ... eq(4)

Multiply 6x on both sides you will get:

6(3)+2(3)+3(3)=6x

18+6+9=6x

33=6x

33/6=x

X=5.5hours

Substitute x=5.5 into EQ 2 and 3

3x=3×5.5=16.5hours

2x=2×5.5=11hours

Check: substitute the value of x into eq3/5.5+3/16.5+3/11

0.545+0.182+0.273=0.9997=1

What is the range of g(x) = 3|x − 1| − 1? A. (-∞, 1] B. [-1, ∞) C. [1, ∞) D. (-∞, ∞)
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

B. [-1, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3|x − 1| − 1

When x = 1  g(x) = 3(0) - 1 = -1.

As all negative vales of x will give positive values of  |x - 1| then  g(x) = -1 is its minimum value. The graph will be shaped like a letter V with the vertex at (1,-1).

Therefore the range is  [-1, ∞).

Please help me find the length width and area
Lisa [10]
I would say that the length would be 2 inches, the width to be 6 feet and the area to be 144. I would say this because in order to find the area, you would need to convert 6 feet into inches. There are 12 inches in a foot. So it would be 72 inches. In order to find area you multiply the length by the width. So it would be 72 time 2, this is equal to 144. Hope this helps :)

Can someone please help me with this? Preferably ASAP
adoni [48]
So  x is one number and x + 1 is another

1. x + x + 1 = 57;
2. 2x + 1 = 57;
           -1     -1
4. 2x = 56
5. x = 56/2
6. x = 28

So, x + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29
So 28 and 29 are the 2 consecutive integers of 57

The answer is the last option.

All you have to do is subtract the 1 on both side of the equation to set it to 0 to get it into the general form.
