Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours

The value of y varies directly with x, and y=28 when x=7. Find y when x=4 by first finding k.
lesya692 [45]
Direct proportionality is the type of proportionality where an increase in one quantity or variable causes a corresponding increase in another quantity. 
Therefore; y varies directly as x
Hence; y α x
             y =k x where k is a constant 
if y= 28 and x = 7 , then k = 28/4 =4
hence, y = 4 k
when x = 4, then y= 16

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equation? 2x+ 3y=6 <br> -3x+5y=10
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

<h3>x = (-2)</h3><h3>y = 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6________( 1 )

-3x + 5y = 10_______( 2 )

( 1 ) × 3 ---- 6x + 9y = 18_____( 3 )

( 2 ) × 2 ---- -6x + 10y = 20_____( 4 )

(4)  +  (3) \\ 6x + 9y  +  ( - 6x + 10y) = 20 - 18 \\ 6x + 9y  -  6x - 10y = 2 \\ y = 2

y = 2 ,

2x + 3y = 6 \\ 2x + 3(2) = 2 \\ 2x + 6 = 2 \\ 2x = 2 - 6 \\ 2x =  - 4 \\x =  \frac{ - 4}{2}  \\ x = ( - 2) \\
