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.

For the equations given below, which statement is true?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: C. The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the first equation is:

-3x-8=19

And the second equation is:

-3x-2=25

According to the Addition property of equality:

If a=b; then a+c=b+c

Then, you can add 6 to both sides of the first equation to keep it balanced. Then, you get:

-3x-8=19\\\\-3x-8+(6)=19+(6)

-3x-2=25

Therefore, you can observe that the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation, therefore, the equations have the same solution.

If you want to verify this, you can solve for "x" from both equations:

- First equation:

-3x-8=19\\\\-3x=19+8\\\\x=\frac{27}{-3}\\\\x=-9

- Second equation:

-3x-2=25\\\\-3x=25+2\\\\x=\frac{27}{-3}\\\\x=-9
