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

If 2x-4(3-x)=18, then x=_____? Can someone please help me with this problem
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x-4(3-x)=18\\2x+(-4)(3)+(-4)(-x)=18

DIstribute

2x+-12+4x=18\\(2x+4x)+(-12)=18

CLT

6x+-12=18\\6x-12=18

Add 12 to both sides.

6x-12+12=18+12\\6x=30

Divide both sides by 6.

\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{30}{6}\\ x=5
