Answer:

120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you have to make equation of both gallon.

Gallon 1 have 130 gallons of water at the start and filled by 1/4 gallon each second. If x equal to the time in seconds, the equation of gallon 1 volume will be:

g1= 130+ 1/4x

Gallon 1 have 200 gallons of water at the start and drained by 1/ 3  gallon each second,  the equation of gallon 2 volume  :  

g2= 200- 1/3x

When gallon 1 volume equal to gallon 2, it mean g1=g2

g1= g2

130+ 1/4x  =  200- 1/3x  

130- 200= -1/3x -1/4x

-70= - 4/12x - 3/12x

-7/12x= -70

7/12x= 70

x= 70*12/7

x= 120

Write the expression as either the sine, cosine, or tangent of a single angle.
Gnesinka [82]
Note that
sin(x + y) = sin(x) cos(y) + cos(x) sin(y).

Therefore by setting x = π/2 and y = π/7, obtain
sin(π/2 + π/7) = sin(π/2)*cos(π/7) + cos(π/2)*sin(π/7)

The right side is what we want to evaluate.  It is equal to
sin(π/2 + π/7) = sin (9/14)π

Answer:  sin( \frac{9 \pi }{14})
