The first pipe fills 1/8 of a pool in one hr.
The second pipe fills 1/4 of a pool in one hr.
(1/8+1/4)2= 3/4 done by the first two pipes in 2 hours.
Therefore the last pipe must do 1 1/4 of the filling in 2 hours, which is 5/8 per hour.
5/8x=1
x=8/5
It takes the third pipe 1 hour and 36 minutes to fill it by itself.
Answer:
x=4/21
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4=23x
-2x -2x
4=21x
4/21=x
We know that
[<span>the area of the rectangle]=L*W
L=1/3 yd
W=2/3 yd
</span>[the area of the rectangle]=1/3*2/3---------> 2/9 yd²
the answer is 2/9 yd²
See picture for solution steps and answer.
1x+3y=8
3x+2y=10
solve
multiply first equation by -3 and add to 2nd equation
-3x-9y=-24
<u>3x+2y=10 +</u>
0x-7y=-14
-7y=-14
divide by -7 both sides
y=2
sub back
x+3y=8
x+3(2)=8
x+6=8
minus 6
x=2
