Answer:

1.42 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must take into account that the speed would be to fill a pool for a time, that this case is in hours, therefore it would be like this:

1/5 for the first pipe

1/2 for the second pipe

Now, we will use both at the same time, therefore:

1/5 + 1/2 = 1 / x

0.7 = 1 / x

x = 1 / 0.7

x = 1.42

That is to say that if we use both we will take a total of 1.42 hours

james' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. Although James worked 3 days less than David, they earned $180 each. Find the number
zalisa [80]

Answer: 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent James' daily wage

James' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. It means that Davis's daily wage will be $(x-5)

Let y represent number of days that James worked. James worked 3 days less than David. It means that the number of days that Davis worked would be (y + 3) days

they earned $180 each. Total amount of money earned by either of of them is the product of wage and the number of days worked.

Since James earned $180, then

180 = xy - - - - - - - - 1

Since Davis also earned $180, then

180 = (x - 5)(y + 3)

xy +3x -5y -15 = 180 - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting xy = 180 into equation 2

It becomes

180 + 3x - 5y -15 = 180

3x - 5y = 180 - 180 + 15

3x - 5y = 15 - - - - - - -3

From equation 1, x = 180/y

Substituting x = 180/y into equation 3, it becomes

3 × 180/y - 5y = 15

540 - 5y^2 = 15y

5y^2 + 15y -540 = 0

Dividing through by 5

y^2 + 3y -108 = 0

y^2 + 12y - 9y -108 = 0

y(y + 12) - 9(y + 12) = 0

y + 12 = 0 or y - 9 = 0

y = -12 or y = 9

Since the number of days cannot be negative, then,

Number of days that James worked will be 9 days
