Answer:

It will take 4.4 hours to fill the swimming pool when two pumps are opened.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One pump can fill a swimming pool in 8 hours and another pump can fill it in 10 hours.

First we need to calculate, in 1 hour how much water a pump pour into the swimming pool.

In 1 hour, the first pump can pour water into the swimming pool = \frac{1}{8}

In 1 hour, the second pump can pour water into the swimming pool = \frac{1}{10}

Let "t" be the time taken to fill the pool when two both the pups are opened.

\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{t}

Now we have to solve for t. We have to take LCD of 8 and 10.

The Least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 10 is 40.

\frac{5}{40} + \frac{4}{40} = \frac{1}{t}

\frac{5 + 4}{40} = \frac{1}{t}

\frac{9}{40} = \frac{1}{t}

Now we have to cross multiply and solve for t

9t = 40

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

t = 4.444

Which is approximately, t = 4.4 hours.

Therefore, it will take 4.4 hours to fill the swimming pool when two pumps are opened.

Answer:

5 and 6 are examples of vertical angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are two angles on opposite sides of an intersection of two lines. This is exactly what we see in this picture with 5 and 6

When two lines intersect, the angles across from the intersection (the "X") are congruent (equal), and referred to as "vertical angles."
So by the rule of vertical angles are congruent, we can set them equal:
{x}^{2}  - 6x = 1\div2 \: x + 42 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6x - 1 \div 2 \: x = 42 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6.5x = 42
{x}^{2}  - 6.5x - 42 = 0 \\ multiply \: both\: sides \: by \: 2 \: to \: get \\ rid \: of \: the \: decimal \\ 2({x}^{2}  - 6.5x - 42) = 2(0)
2 {x}^{2}  - 13x - 84 = 0
to factor we need the factors of 84:
1×84, 2×42, 3×28, 4×21, 6×14
Now we need one of those factors ×2 ( from the x^2 term) minus the other factor to equal 13 (the middle term)
it turns out that if we use 4×21: 4×2 = 8
and 21-8 = 13. Woohoo! we got it
So now we have:
2 {x}^{2}  - 13x - 84 = 0 \\ (2x - 21)(x + 4) = 0
Now set each factor = 0
1) 2x - 21 = 0 and 2) x + 4 = 0
1) 2x - 21 = 0, 2x = 21, x = 21/2 = 10.5
2) x + 4 = 0, x = -4

Now we plug in each answer to check:
1) x = 10.5
{x}^{2}  - 6x =  {(10.5)}^{2}  - 6(10.5) \\  = 110.25 - 63 = 47.25
1/2x + 42 = 1/2(10.5) + 42 = 5.25 + 42 = 47.25
47.25 = 47.25
BAM SO IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S IT!!
But let's check 2) first:
2) x = -4
{( - 4)}^{2}  - 6( - 4) = 16 + 24 = 40
1/2x + 42 = 1/2(-4) + 42 = -2 + 42 = 40
40 = 40, so both work!!
But it asks for m<1, and <1 is supplementary because it lies on same line, meaning the sum of both = 189
Therefore m<1 = 180 - 47.25 = 132.75°
OR m<1 = 180 - 40 = 140°

Hank is throwing a surprise party. The party costs $20 per person. Create an equation and graph to represent the relationship be
o-na [289]

Answer: Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of party per person = $20.

Let the number of friends be 'f'.

Let the cost of party be 'p'.

According to question, our equation becomes

p= 2f

So, if p = 100, then f = p/2 = 100/2 = 50 if f = 10, then, p = 2f = 2 • 10 = 20 If p = 300 then, f = 300/2 = 150, If f = 20, then, p = 2f = 2 • 20 = 40 So, Table as follows:

Number of friends cost of party

50 100

10 20

150 300

20 40
