[1] Amount of water per minute
Water Miser: m = 3.0 gal/min
Watersaver: m = 2.5 gal/min
Waterstream: m = 1.5 gal/min
[2] Equations:
I would suggest using y = mx.
Water Miser: y = 3x
Watersaver: y = 2.5x
Waterstream: y = 1.5x
[3] For 6,8,10, and 12 minutes:
Plug in x = 6, x = 8, x = 10, and x = 12 into each of the three equations and record the y-values.
[4] Which would you buy?
Depends on your personal opinion.
Want to save the earth? Pick the one that uses the least amount of water.
Want to have a waterfall for a shower? Pick the one that uses the most amount of water. :)
X + (2 10)/(30 x)
The gcd of 10 and 30 is 10, so 10/30 = (10×1)/(10×3) = 10/10×1/3 = 1/3:
x + 2/(3 x)
Put each term in x + 2/(x 3) over the common denominator 3 x: x + 2/(x 3) = (3 x^2)/(3 x) + 2/(3 x):
(3 x^2)/(3 x) + 2/(3 x)
(3 x^2)/(3 x) + 2/(3 x) = (3 x^2 + 2)/(3 x):
Answer: (3 x^2 + 2)/(3 x)

Answer:
2x +4 = 9
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number
2x +4 = 9
Subtract 4 from each side
2x+4-4 = 9-4
2x = 5
Divide by 2
2x/2 =5/2
x = 5/2
Answer:
3/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the total number that tapped the ground AND 5/10 worms (which is 3) over the total number which is 13
so 3/13 which doesn't simplify
hope this helped :)
