Answer:
The answer is -0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this helps. Sorry if I am wrong.
Multiply all the terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
a/9=-4
9 . a/9=9(-4)
The dot means multiplication
Then simplify to simplify cancel the multiplied terms that are in the denominator
a=9 . -4
Multiply the number
9 . -4 =36
And don’t forget to add the negative sign so the answer is
a= -36
What do you mean this sentence?
the time a pump takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump,
The meaning would be : if we have a power in watts greater the time to drag the pool will be less because the relation between power and time is inverse.
40 watts--------------5 hours)
100 watts------------ x
because the relation between power and time is inverse, we multiply directly.
40 watts(5 hours)=100 watts x
x=(200 watts hours) / 100 watts=2 hours.
Answer: the time would be 2 hours. (the new pump is faster)
Answer: $9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost for adults be a
Let the cost for students be b.
The first van transported 2 adults and 5 students and cost $77. This will be:
2a + 5b = $77
The second van transported 2 adults and 7 students and cost $95. This will be:
2a + 7b = $95
2a + 5b = 77 ...... equation i
2a + 7b = 95 ........ equation ii
Subtract equation ii from I
-2b = -18
b = 18/2
b = $9
An student cost $9
Put the value of b into equation i
2a + 5b = 77
2a + 5(9) = 77
2a + 45 = 77
2a = 77 - 45
2a = 32
a = 32/2
a = 16
An adult costs $16
