The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used
Answer:
Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W = hours of use by Lewis family
65 - W = hours of use by Perry family
Then;
15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850
15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850
(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600
-25W = −750
W = 750/25 = 30
Therefore;
W = 30
65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35
Hence,
Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.

Easy peasy, this is a representation of differnce of 2 perfect squares
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
First we simplify the inequality
1. <em>multiply 6 by the other side of the inequality (-4) </em>
Now we have ...
a > -24
Anything that can be a solution to the inequality <u>must be greater than -24</u>
-18 is greater than -24
This means that, YES! a = -18 IS a solution to the inequality
