A swimming pool is filled with water by using two taps A and B. Alone, it takes tap A 3 hours less than B to fill the same pool.

Together, they take 2 hours to fill the pool. How many hours does it take each tap to fill the swimming pools separately?

Answer:

Tap A 3hrs

Tap B 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the swimming pool be Xm^3.

Now, to get the appropriate volume, we know we need to multiply the rate by the time. Let the rate of the taps be R1 and R2 respectively, while the time taken to fill the swimming pool be Ta and Tb respectively.

x/Ta= Ra

x/Tb= Rb

X/(Ra + Rb)= 2

Ta = Tb - 3

From equation 2:

X = 2( Ra + Rb)

Substituting the values of Ra and Rb Using the first set of equations

X = 2( x/Ta + x/Tb)

But Ta = Tb - 3

1/2 = 1/(Tb - 3)+ 1/Tb

0.5 = (Tb + Tb-3)/Tb(Tb - 3)

At this juncture let’s say Tb = y

0.5 = (2y - 3)/y(y - 3)

y(y-3 ) = 4y - 6

y^2 -3y - 4y + 6 = 0

y^2 -7y + 6= 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get y =

y = Tb = 6hrs or 1hr

We remove one hour as we know that Tap A takes 3hrs left than tap B and there is nothing like negative hours

Now, we get Ta by Tb -3 = 6 - 3 = 3hrs

Please do #4 It’s it the one on the bottom

We need to graph this equation:

16x+2y=300

Its solutions are the points through which it graph passes. Since it's a linear equation its graph is a straight line and we only need two of its points to draw it. But before graphing let's re-write the equation. We can substract 16x from both sides:

\begin{gathered} 16x+2y=300 \\ 16x+2y-16x=300-16x \\ 2y=300-16x \end{gathered}

And we divide both sides by 2:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{300-16x}{2}=\frac{300}{2}-\frac{16x}{2} \\ y=150-8x \end{gathered}

So now with this equation if we pick two random x values we'll get their corresponding y values. This way we'll find two points that are part of the graph which is the line that passes through both. We can begin with x=0:

y=150-8\cdot0=150

So the first point is (0,150). Then we can take x=10 and we get:

y=150-8\cdot10=150-80=70

So the second point is (10,70). Then the graph is the line that passes through points (0,150) and (10,70). In order to represent it
