Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Rita's tank contains =7.8 gallons of water

Filling rate = 2.1 gallons per minute

Wendy's tank contains = 97.8 gallons

Drain rate =. 0.9 gallons per minute

After how many minutes will both contain the same amount of water.

Let number of minutes = m

Rita is filling :

Initial + increase

7.8 + 2.1m ----(1)

Wendy is emptying:

Initial - decrease

97.8 - 0.9m - - - (2)

Equate both ;

(1) = (2)

7.8 + 2.1m = 97.8 - 0.9m

2.1m + 0.9m = 97.8 - 7.8

3m = 90

m = 90 / 3

m = 30 minutes

Answer:

3l + 1s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The expression to represent 50% of the money collected : 0.50(6l + 2s)

Expanding the expression :

0.50(6l + 2s)

(0.50 * 6l) + (0.50 * 2s)

3l + 1s

Hence, the simplified expression is 3l + 1s

3) The sum of two numbers is 17. The difference between five times the first number and three times
Nitella [24]

Answer:

8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two unknown numbers be a and b.

When added together, they equal 17. In other words:

a + b = 17.

The <em>difference</em> between five times the first number and three times the second number is 13. In other words:

5a - 3b = 13.

We have a system of equations. We can use substitution. From the first equation, we can derive a = 17 - b. Let's substitute this in:

5(17 - b) - 3b = 13

85 - 5b - 3b = 13

-8b = -72

b = 9

a = 17 - b.

a = 17 - 9 = 8.

Thus, the two numbers are 8 and 9.

Is Y=5 and Y=-1 consider parallel perpendicular or neither show your work please and asap
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

  parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

The "work" is to recognize that both equations describe horizontal lines. All horizontal lines on the Cartesian coordinate grid are parallel.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

  y = constant . . . . . a horizontal line (y=0 is the x-axis)

  x = constant . . . . . a vertical line (x=0 is the y-axis)

__

If you wanted to go to the trouble, you could compare the equation ...

  y = constant

to the slope-intercept form ...

  y = mx +b

Your comparison would note that m=0. That is, the slope is zero, so the line is horizontal. All lines with the same (zero) slope are parallel.
