The large hose fills 1 pool in 9 hours written as  1/9

The small hose fills 1 pool in 18 hours, written as 1/18


Now you have 1/9 + 1/18 = 1/x ( x is the unknown time for both hoses).

rewrite 1/9 with a common denominator as 1/18:

1/9 = 2/18


Now you have 2/18 + 1/18 = 1/x

Add the left side:

2/18 + 1/18 = 3/18


Now you have 3/18 = 1/x

Cross Multiply:

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3"

x = 18/3

X = 6


It will take both hoses 6 hours.

What are the solutions to the equation x - 7/x = 6
bearhunter [10]

The answer is C that is X=7 and X=-1

multiple x through the given equation to get rid of a fraction. It will be

{x}^{2}  - 7 = 6x

After that bring 6X to the LHS of the equation

so that it will look like the general equation that is

{x}^{2}  - 6x - 7 = 0

Use the quadratic formula (or any other approach to find the values of x

You will arrive at

x = 7. - 1

Can someone explain or help me out
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The bird has to fly 7.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see diagram in attached image.

Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;

1) one acute angle (15^o), and

2) the side opposite to that angle.

What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".

The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(15^o)=\frac{2\,m}{x} \\x=\frac{2\,m}{tan(15^o)} \\x=7.46 \,\,m

which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m
