Given that the amount of time varies inversely with G.

It can be written as,

T G=K

where K is the constant.

We need to determine the time it takes to put out the fire when 200 gallons of water are used.

<u>The value of constant:</u>

When G=8, T=12 , we get;

(12)(8)=K

      96=K

Thus, the value of constant is  96.

<u>Time taken:</u>

Substituting G=2 and K=96 in the formula T G=K, we get;

T(2)=96

    T=48

Thus, the time taken to put out the fire using 200 gallons of water is 48 minutes.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Solve for x {x+4]= 6
wlad13 [49]

The solution to the equation x(x+4) = 6 is x = -2 + √10 or x = -2 - √10 after solving with the quadratic formula.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

Any equation of the form \rm ax^2+bx+c=0 where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

We have an equation:

x(x + 4) = 6

By distributive property:

x² + 4x = 6

x² + 4x - 6 = 0

a = 1, b = 4, c = -6

Plugging all the values in the formula:

\rm x = \dfrac{-4 \pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}

After calculating:

\rm x = \dfrac{-4 \pm\sqrt{40}}{2}

\rm x=-2+\sqrt{10},\ \ \ or \ \ \ x=-2-\sqrt{10}

Thus, the solution to the equation x(x+4) = 6 is x = -2 + √10 or x = -2 - √10 after solving with the quadratic formula.
