4a + 5 = 3(a - 7) + 2a
4a + 5 = 3a - 21 + 2a
4a + 5 = 5a -21
4a -5a = -21 -5
-a = -26
a = 26
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X=time of the third person it would take to fill the pool
We can suggest this equation:
6[(1/20) + (1/15) +(1/x)]=1
6[(3x+4x+60)/60x]=1
(7x+60)/10x=1
7x+60=10x
7x-10x=-60
-3x=-60
x=-60/-3
x=20
Answer: the third person alone would fill the pool in 20 hours .
I believe 64x-8 is the correct answer.
X-62=123
+62 +62
_________
x=185
you need to add a positive 62 from each side so -62+62=0 and 123+62=185
therefore, x=185
:Done! hope this helps!
