4(x+3)=7
The mistake is with his final answer, he wrote down 4x=1.

When you do 4(x)4(3), the answer is completely different from what Andre said. He did wrong calculations.

4x3=12

7-12= -5

Which means it should be 4x=-5 as the final answer.

A winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. The inlet pipe can fill the vat in 5 hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rates are additive: you can calculate the<em> inlet </em>rate and the <em>outlet</em> rate and add them algebraically, i.e. the inlet rate will be positive and the outlet rate will be negative.

<u>1. Inlet rate:</u>

$1vat/5hours$

<u />

<u>2. Outlet rate:</u>

$1vat/8hours$

<u>3. Net rate:</u>

$\text{Inlet rate - outlet rate}=1vat/5hours-1vat/8hours\\\\ \text{Net rate}=(8-5)vat/40hour=3vat/40hour=(3/40)vat/hour$

<u>4. Time to fill the vat</u>

$rate=amount/time\implies time=amount/rate\\ \\ time=1vat/(3vat/40hour)$

$time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours$

The parking lot for a hotel should have 114 parking spaces. If ech row can have 13 parking spaces, then the minimum nukber of ro

MArishka [77]

So @mathmate deleted my comment because "I wasn't explaining my answer" well I did

I clearly stated that you have to make educated guess and I showed how I GOT my answer

so i guess here is my "proper" answer

There is no specific formula for this, so you can make an educated guess

for example:

13*5 = 65 (this isn't right because we need a minimum of 114)

so we continue the guessing

I then next tried

13*9

I got 117,

117 is more than 113

making 9 the minimum amount of rows for the hotel parking lot

there ya go @mathmate is that clear enough?
