Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hose A:

60 gallons every 15 minutes mean:

60 / 15 = 4 gallons per minute

For Hose B:

If we put x = 1, we can find gallons (y)  per minute (x)

y = 3 x

y = 3(1)

y = 3

That means 3 gallons per minute

Thus, the rate of Hose A is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of Hose B. Option C is correct.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C,

Step-by-step explanation:

Hose-A fills 60 gallons of water in 15 minutes .

Rate of Hose-A at which it fills water truck = R_a=\frac{60 gal}{15 min}=4 gal/min

Hose-B fills water truck , its function is given as:

y = 3x

Where y is the total number of gallons filled in x minutes.

Rate of Hose-B at which it fills water truck = R_b=\frac{y gal}{xmin}=\frac{3x}{x} gal/min=3 gal/min

Difference in rates of both hoses:

R_a-R_b=4 gal/min - 4gal/min = 1 gal/min

R_a-R_b=1 gal/min

R_a=R_b+1 gal/min

The rate of Hose A is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of Hose B.

Can someone please give me the perimeter and area answer SHOW WORK
stich3 [128]
Just add up the lengths of the four sides, and you have the perimeter.

The perimeter is:
(4x-7)*2 + (10x^2+4x-2)*2 =
8x-14 + 20x^2+8x-4 =
20x^2 + 16x - 18
