Answer:

40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take "x" as the # of hours it takes the lava to reach the sea

since there is a lava flow of 0.5 kilos per hour

we will multiply "x" with 0.5

0.5x

now the tube system is 20 kilometers long

this means that at a rate of 0.5 kilos per hour the lava will reach the sea once it is 20 kilometers deep

so

0.5x=20

divide "0.5" by both sides to eliminate the coefficient

\frac{0.5x}{0.5} =\frac{20}{0.5}

x=40

it will take 40 hours for the lava to reach the sea

Hope this helps!

PLZ HELP PLZ HELP WHATS THE ANSWER
avanturin [10]
For the first equation it should be 1 and 4 because 7(1)+6(4) would simplify to 7+24 which equals 31.

Then for the second equation, well... there’s multiple answers:

First would be 3 and -2 because 3(3)-10(-2) simplifies to 9+20=29.

Another one would be 23 and 4 because 3(23)-10(4) simplifies to 69-40=29.

Hopefully this helps :D
