Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
9mph because 20 minutes time 3 is one hour so multiply 3 by 3 to get 9
Answer: 32
Step-by-step explanation:
96 divided by 24 is 4
8x4=32
Answer:
x=-8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
group like terms: -3x+-6x=-9x
add 2 to both sides: 2+22=24
divide both sides by -9: -9x/-9=24/-9
x=-8/3
