Answer:

18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the pool be x. Since pipe A filled the  pool in 6 hours, the rate of pipe A = x / 6.

Let the rate of pipe b be y, Hose A filled the pool alone for the first 2 hours, this means that the volume filled in the 2 hours is x/6(2 hours) and the two hoses, working together, then finished filling the pool in another 3 hours for the 3 hours the volume filled is x/6(3) + y(3).  hence the total time is:

x/6(2) + x/6(3) + y(3) = x

x/3 + x/2 + 3y = x

Multiply through by 6:

2x + 3x + 18y = 6x

5x + 18y = 6x

18y = x

y = x/18

The rate of pipe B is x/18, this means it would take pipe B 18 hours to full the pool alone

Complete the square on the following quadratic x2+10x+9=0
kakasveta [241]
Given a quadratic equation x^{2} +ax+c=0

1. the first thing we do when we want to compete the square, is write the coefficient of x as 2 times a number.

In our case the coefficient of x is 10, so we write 10 as 2*5

2. then we write + 5^{2} and - 5^{2} to the expression:

x^{2} +2*5*x+ 5^{2} -5^{2}+9=0

(x^{2} +2*5*x+ 5^{2}) -25+9=0

(x+5)^{2}-16=0



Answer: (x+5)^{2}-16=0
