Answer: the sprinkling rate of the butler family's sprinkler is 40L per hour

the sprinkling rate of the Clark family's sprinkler is 20L per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the sprinkling rate of the butler family's sprinkler.

Let y represent the sprinkling rate of the Clark family's sprinkler.

The butler family's sprinklers was used for 40 hours. The Clark family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours. There was a combined total output of 2200L of water. This means that

40x + 30y = 2200 - - - - - - - - - - -1

if the sum of the two rates was 60l per hour, it means that

x + y = 60

Substituting x = 60 - y into equation 1, it becomes

40(60 - y) + 30y = 2200

2400 - 40y + 30y = 2200

- 40y + 30y = 2200 - 2400

- 10y = - 200

y = - 200/ - 10

y = 20

Substituting y = 20 into x = 60 - y, it becomes

x = 60 - 20 = 40

Answer:

I think that the answer would be C because you have to multiply the term at the top. This would mean you would not do C. Sorry if this is wrong. At least you have your eliminating process now. lol so doing C is out of the box, which makes C your answer.

If f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 and g(x) = 2x^2 + 2,<br> find f(x) – g(x).<br><br> Answer: x^2 - 4x + 3
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

f(x) – g(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 and g(x) = 2x^2 + 2,

f(x) – g(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 - ( 2x^2 + 2)

Distribute the minus sign

f(x) – g(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 5 - 2x^2 - 2

  Combine like terms

f(x) – g(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3
