Answer:

20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that (1 job) = (rate)(time), so time = (1 job) / (rate).

Set up and solve the following equation:

  1 job

------------------------------- = time required for 2 pumps working together

1 job         1 job

---------- + -------------

4 days      10 days

This comes out to:

              1 job

------------------------------------------- = time required

10 job-days      4 job-days

------------------ + -----------------

   40 days           40 days

or:

    1 job

-------------------- = (40/14) days, or 20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

14 job·days

-----------------

   40 days

Order the set of integers from least to greatest 5, -3, -12, 9
Sauron [17]

Answer:

-12, -3, 5, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

ok. So the numbers are 5, -3, -12, and 9.

In these numbers, there are 2 negatives. They are -12 and -3.

In negatives, the bigger the number is, the number is smaller.

So we first put

-12, -3 as our 2 first. Then the other ones are 5 and 9.

and you obviously know that 5 is less than 9. try it out. 9-5 =4 which is positive

So then you put 5, 9

And our full answer is

-12, -3, 5, 9

A system of equations that has at least one solution is called inconsistent.
solmaris [256]

False. Because if it has one then it is consistent.

Source: If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent . When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent. (https://www.varsitytutors.com/hotmath/hotmath.../consistent-and-dependent-systems)
