It takes 12 minutes to fill an entire bathtub using both the cold and hot water. If just the cold water is used, it takes 18 min

utes to fill the bathtub. How long would it take to fill the bathtub if just the hot water were used? The equation can be used to solve for the rate, r, for the hot water alone to fill the bathtub. The hot water can fill of the tub in 1 minute. It would take minutes for the hot water to fill the bathtub.

Answer:

<h2>It takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are gonna name V the complete volume of the bathtub, which is filled a certain amount of minutes. Each filling rate or speed is gonna be expressed as: \frac{V}{t}.

So, if we apply this consideration to each case we have:

Using cold and hot water: \frac{V}{12}

Using only cold water: \frac{V}{18}

Using only hot water: \frac{V}{x}; because we don't knot the time it takes to fill the bathtub with hot water.

Now, as you can see, Cold and Hot water is a sum of cold water only and hot water only:

\frac{V}{12}=\frac{V}{18}+\frac{V}{x}

Solving the equation for <em>x: </em>

\frac{V}{12}=\frac{xV+18V}{18x} \\\frac{V}{12}=\frac{(x+18)V}{18x}\\\\\frac{18xV}{V}=12(x+18)\\18x=12x+216\\18x-12x=216\\6x=216\\x=\frac{216}{6}=36

Therefore, it takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.

Answer:

The equation for this question would be (12/18) + 12r = 1

The hot water can fill 1/36

It would take 36 minutes for hot water to fill the bathtub.

Which of the following equations, in its simplest form, will be equivalent to 3x 2 (–5)? 2 3x 5 x – 1 x – 2 x –3 – 3x – 1 x 3 –
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x) = 3x² - x³ - 3x + 5 and g(x) = x - 1 - x²

-x² + x - 1) -x³ + 3x² - 3x + 5(x - 2

               -x³ +  x²  - x

                -------------------------

                          2x² -  2x  +  5

                          2x²  -  2x  +  2

                           ----------------------

Ayuda porfa se ruego :b
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

b) 5u.

Step-by-step explanation:

El triangulo es 45-45-90, entonces los dos lados son iguales. Si un lado es 8u, el otro lado tambien es 8u.

Entonces, 8u + x = 13u.

x = 13u - 8u

x = 5u

Espero que esto te ayude!

If perpendiculars from any point within an angle on its arms are equal, prove that it lies on the bisector of that angle
Oxana [17]
Your question can be quite confusing, but I think the gist of the question when paraphrased is: P<span>rove that the perpendiculars drawn from any point within the angle are equal if it lies on the angle bisector?

Please refer to the picture attached as a guide you through the steps of the proofs. First. construct any angle like </span>∠ABC. Next, construct an angle bisector. This is the line segment that starts from the vertex of an angle, and extends outwards such that it divides the angle into two equal parts. That would be line segment AD. Now, construct perpendicular line from the end of the angle bisector to the two other arms of the angle. This lines should form a right angle as denoted by the squares which means 90° angles. As you can see, you formed two triangles: ΔABD and ΔADC. They have congruent angles α and β as formed by the angle bisector. Then, the two right angles are also congruent. The common side AD is also congruent with respect to each of the triangles. Therefore, by Angle-Angle-Side or AAS postulate, the two triangles are congruent. That means that perpendiculars drawn from any point within the angle are equal when it lies on the angle bisector
