Answer:
x= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 2 = 6(-2x - 5)
Distribute
4x+2 = -12x-30
Add 12x to each side
4x+2+12x = -12x-30+12x
16x+2 = -30
Subtract 2 from each side
16x+2-2=-30-2
16x = -32
Divide by 16
16x/16x = -32/16
x = -2
<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72
So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)
</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
</span>
<span>Now solve for x
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
