nk in 18 hours. If someone left both hoses on, how long would it take to fill the tank using the faucet.

It would take the faucet 18 hours to fill the tank because 18/12=1.5.  That means it will be 1.5 times slower to fill the tank up with the hose on.  1.5*12=18.

A system of equations is shown below.
Nimfa-mama [501]
-3x + 7y = -16 . . . (1)
-9x + 5y = 16 . . . .(2)

(1) x 3 => -9x + 21y = -48 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -16y = 64 . . . (4)

Required equivalent system of equations is
-9x + 5y = 16
-16y = 64

Solve the inequality |* +31 &lt; |2x + 1.<br> |x+3|&lt;|2x+1|
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to follow when solving absolute value inequalities:

Isolate the absolute value expression on the left side of the inequality.

If the number on the other side of the inequality sign is negative, your equation either has no solution or all real numbers as solutions.

If your problem has a greater than sign (your problem now says that an absolute value is greater than a number), then set up an "or" compound inequality that looks like this:

(quantity inside absolute value) < -(number on other side)

OR

(quantity inside absolute value) > (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a ³ sign.

If your absolute value is less than a number, then set up a three-part compound inequality that looks like this:

-(number on other side) < (quantity inside absolute value) < (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a £ sign
