Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be time to fill with all pipes open

All the pipes will complete a single job that is = 1

Given is that the tank can be filled by one pipe in 4 hours and by a second pipe in 6 hours and can be drained by a third pipe in 3 hours.

So, equation forms;

\frac{t}{4}+ \frac{t}{6}- \frac{t}{3}=1

=> \frac{3t+2t-4t}{12} =1

=> \frac{t}{12} =1

And t = 12 hours

Hence, it will take 12 hours to do the job.

12 hours..........
+ - = 1
Multiply by 12 to clear the fractions
3t + 2t - 4t = 12
t = 12 hrs to fill the pool

What is solution to this system of equations? x + 4y = 12 and x = 0<br>PLSSS hurry​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=0 and y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=0, then we can just plug that value into the other equation and solve for y:

x+4y=12

0+4y=12

4y=12

y=3

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=0 and y=3
