Answer:

The number of pumps and hours) vary inversely.

The constant of variation is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let x be number of pumps and y be number of hours.

We have been given that working together, two identical water pumps can fill a pull in 10 hours. This means while working alone the pumps will take 2 times as much time to fill the tank.

As we increase number of pumps (x), number of hours (y) is decreasing and as we decrease x our y is increasing, therefore, number of pumps (x) and hours (y) vary inversely.

Since we know that an inversely proportion equation is in form: y=\frac{k}{x}, where, k is constant of variation.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

10=\frac{k}{2}

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 2 we will get,

2*10=2*\frac{k}{2}

20=k

Therefore, the constant of variation is 20.

X/3+6-2x=-6 Please Help me I am stuck
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

x = 36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 6 from both sides

x/3+6-2x-6 = -6-6

Simplify

x/3 - 2x = -12

Multiply both sides by 3

x/3 * 3 - 2x * 3 = -12 * 3

Simplify

-5x = -36

Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = -36/-5

Simplify

x = 36/5
