Answer:

One watering system requires 36 minutes to complete the job alone while another watering system requires 12 minutes to complete the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Both the system can complete the job = 9 minutes

We need find the time required by each system to do the job.

Solution:

Let the time required by another watering system to complete the job be 'x' mins.

Now given:

One watering system needs about three times as long to complete a job as another watering system.

Time required by one watering system = 3x

Rate to complete the job by another watering system = \frac{1}{x}\ job/min

Rate to complete the job by One watering system = \frac{1}{3x}\ job/min

Rate at which both can complete the job = \frac{1}{9}\ job/min

So we can say that;

Rate at which both can complete the job is equal to sum of Rate to complete the job by another watering system and Rate to complete the job by One watering system.

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{3x}=\frac19

Now taking LCM to make the denominator common we get;

\frac{1\times3}{x\times 3}+\frac{1\times1}{3x\times1}=\frac19\\\\\frac{3}{3x}+\frac{1}{3x}=\frac19\\\\\frac{3+1}{3x}=\frac{1}{9}\\\\\frac{4}{3x}=\frac{1}{9}

By Cross multiplication we get;

4\times9 =3x\\\\3x =36

Dividing both side by 3 we get;

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{36}{3}\\\\x=12\ min

Time required by One watering system = 3x =3\times 12 =36\ min

Hence One watering system requires 36 minutes to complete the job alone while another watering system requires 12 minutes to complete the job alone.

Which number is NOT in the solution set of x − 9 &gt; 3?<br> A) 11 <br> B) 13 <br> C) 15 <br> D) 17
densk [106]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x - 9 > 3 ( add 9 to both sides )

x > 12

13, 15 and 17 are all greater than 12

However, 11 is less than 12 and is not in the solution set → A

Please help me The difference of two numbers is 9. If the larger number is one more than twice the smaller number, find the lage
Helen [10]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be represented by x

Let the smaller number be represented by y

from the question, the next equations can be gotten :

x - y = 9  equation 1

x = 1 + 2y equation 2

Substitute for x in equation 1

1 + 2y - y = 9

1 + y = 9

Collect like terms

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)

x - 8 = 9

x = 9 + 8

x = 17

Given the trinomial 2x*2 + 4x + 4, predict the type of solutions. a. Two rational solutions b. One rational solution c. Two irra
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

d. Two complex solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a trinomial 2x^2+4x+4 and we are supposed to predict the type of solutions of our given trinomial.

We will use discriminant formula to solve for our given problem.

\text{Discriminant}=b^2-4ac, where,

a =\text{Coefficient of }x^2,

b =\text{Coefficient of }x,

c =\text{Constant }

Conclusion from the result of Discriminant are:

D

D=0\text{ means one real zero with of multiplicity two}

D>0\text{ means two distinct zeroes}

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Discriminant}=4^2-4*2*4

\text{Discriminant}=16-32

\text{Discriminant}=-16

Since our discriminant is less than zero, therefore, out given trinomial will have two complex solutions and option d is the correct choice.
