Hello.
The answer is : No soultion.
No solution would mean that there is no answer to the equation. It is impossible for the equation to be true no matter what value we assign to the variable.
Have a nice day
The large hose fills 1 pool in 9 hours written as 1/9
The small hose fills 1 pool in 18 hours, written as 1/18
Now you have 1/9 + 1/18 = 1/x ( x is the unknown time for both hoses).
rewrite 1/9 with a common denominator as 1/18:
1/9 = 2/18
Now you have 2/18 + 1/18 = 1/x
Add the left side:
2/18 + 1/18 = 3/18
Now you have 3/18 = 1/x
Cross Multiply:
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3"
x = 18/3
X = 6
It will take both hoses 6 hours.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 19
Discussion:
Both sides are logarithms to the same base, namely 20
, which implies the expressions in x (what we are taking logarithms of) must be equal. So we need to solve
4x - 10 = 3x + 9 => subtract 3x from both sides
4x-3x - 10 = 9 => add 10 to both sides
x = 9 + 10 = 19
Thank you,
MrB
