Y = mx + b, where m = slope = rise/run and b, the y intercept value
m = 1/1 = 1, then y = x + b.
We notice that y intercept is = - 1
And the equation is:
y = x - 1
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
Answer:i think its the second one

<u>Change in pay:</u>

- 1.25/11.50*100% = 10.87% (rounded)
3\4a=24 multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of 4(4 x 24=96)
3a=96 divide both sides by 3 to remain with a
a=32
