ler was 25L per hour. The water output rate for the Harris family's sprinkler was 35L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1625L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rate of Long family's sprinkler is 25 L/hr

rate of Harris family's sprinkler is 35 L/hr

Total time for which sprinkler is used =55 hr

Let long family run their sprinkler for x hr

therefore Harris family time=55-x

Total volume collected=1625 L

thus

25\times x+35\times (55-x)=1625

25x+1925-35x=1625

1925-1625=10x

300=10x

x=30 hr

long family used for 30 hr and Harris family used for 20 hr

Well first you take the amount that Connor paid, $29.25 and subtract the base price for the pizza,  $17.50

$29.25 - $17.50 = $11.75

Then you divide that number by the base price of 1 topping, $2.35

11.75 / 2.35 = 5 

So Connor got 5 toppings on his pizza.

2. Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of line PQ where the co-ordinates of P and Q are P (-2, 8) and Q (4,7)
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

2y - 12x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient of line PQ= (7-8)/ 4+2

-1/6

gradient of perpendicular bisector of line PQ=

-1 ÷ -1/6

-1× -6

6

coordinates of the midpoint of line PQ

(-2+4)/2, (8+7)/2

(1, 15/2)

the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of line PQ

Equation of the perpendicular bisector

y - 15/2 = 6(x - 1)

multiply through by 2

2y - 15 = 12(x - 1)

2y - 15 = 12x - 12

2y - 12x = 3
