1/9 + 1/2 = 1/x

Let x = length of time it will take both hoses to work together

Multiply both sides by 18x.

2x + 9x = 18

10x = 18

x = 18/10

x = 9/5

x = 1.8 hours

In other words, if both hoses work together, the pool can be filled in 1 hour and 48 minutes.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$80 was on the gift card to begin with

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial money be x

Peter spent (1/2)*x

Peter added 10

<em>Before adding more money on the gift card Peter had x -(1/2)x left on the gift card which is (1/2)x</em>

<em>After loading more money Peter had (1/2)x + 10</em>

(1/2)x = 40 <em>(money spent by Peter)</em>

x/2 = 40

x = 80
