Help me find the value of x!!!

A tap can fill a bucket in 6 hours. After half the bucket is filled, three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time

777dan777 [17]

The total time taken to fill the bucket completely is 3 hours 45 minutes

The time taken to fill the bucket by one tap= 6 hours

Then the time take by one tap to fill half of the bucket= 3 hours

Part filled by one tap in one hour = $\frac{1}{6}$

Part filled by four taps in one hour = $4(\frac{1}{6})=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Given, that after half the bucket is filled, three more similar taps are opened

Then the remaining part = $1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Time taken to fill the half of the bucket= $(\frac{1}{2} )(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3}{4}$ hours

Convert the hours to minutes

$(\frac{3}{4})60=45$ minutes

Therefore,

Total time taken to fill the bucket= The time taken by one tap to fill half of the bucket+ Time taken by 4 taps to fill the half of the bucket

=3 hours+ 45 minutes

=3 hours 45 minutes

Hence, The total time taken to fill the bucket completely is 3 hours 45 minutes

True or false the values [x] and [-x] are always equal

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

If you mean |x| and |-x| yes they are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brackets do not exactly specify the meaning of absolute value.

On most keyboards, above the enter button on the main keyboard part (not the keypad one) there is a back slash symbol \ and if you hold shift, there might be another symbol | which more accurately represents absolute value,

If you aren't talking about the absolute value, then no.
