let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.

next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.

galben [10]
So we are finding the difference btween 5x-3 and 3x+1.
(5x-3)-(3x+1)

Let's subtract the x's first.
5x-3x=2x
Now the numbers.
-3-1=-4
Now, we need to put 2x and -4 together. 

The expression would be 2x-4.

Tina had $47.10 in her bank account on Monday. She withdrew $25 on Monday and also made a deposit of an amount d that she cannot
nalin [4]
The correct answer is a.  47.10 - 25 + d = 97.43.

This is because you have to subtract the $25, because it is a withdrawal, or taking out of money.
This rules out options C and D.  

Also, Tina made a deposit of an amount that she can't remember.  A deposit is adding a certain amount of money, so you have to +d.  

This rules out option B.

The only option left is option A, which makes complete sense.
