50x + 100 = 60x + 45

-45 -45

50x + 55 = 60x

-50x -50x

55 = 10x

Answer:

5.5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of months that pass.

We can write an equation to resemble this problem [ 100 + 50m = 45 + 60m ]

Steps to solve:

100 + 50m = 45 + 60m

~Subtract 100 to both sides

50m = -55 + 60m

Subtract 60m to both sides

-10m = -55

~Divide -10 to both sides

m = 5.5

Best of Luck!

4x+x=180 combine like terms on left side

5x=180 divide both sides by 5

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.

$\frac{10 min}{1/2 inch} = \frac{x min}{12 inches}$
