Answer:

60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.

takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>

LCM (20, 30) = 60

<u>To find the efficiency </u>

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

x = 60/30 =2

x + y = 60 /20 = 3

Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1

so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes

What is the solution to this system:<br> 4x+9y=28<br> - 4x-y=-28
Degger [83]

Answer:

x = 7

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

→To solve this, you can use the elimination method. To do this, you must have one set of variables that can cancel each other out. In the problem given, we already have positive 4x and -4x, making them cancel out:

4x + 9y = 28

-4x - y = -28

__________

8y = 0

y = 0

<u>→Plug in 0 for y, into an equation:</u>

-4x - 0 = -28

-4x = -28

x = 7

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hello</em><em>!</em><em>!</em><em>!</em>

<em>Let's</em><em> </em><em>workout</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>figure</em><em>.</em>

<em>BC</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>chord</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>O</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>centre</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>OA</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>perpendicular</em><em> </em><em>bisector</em><em>.</em>

<em>AB</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>BC</em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>according</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>circle's</em><em> </em><em>theorem</em><em>)</em>

<em>so</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em>.</em><em>6</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em>, </em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>measure</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>AB</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>12</em><em>.</em><em>8</em><em>.</em>

<em>now</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>let's</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>small</em><em> </em><em>work</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>triangle</em><em> </em><em>AOB</em><em>.</em>

<em>as</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>Right angled triangle</em><em>, </em><em>taking</em><em> </em><em>angle</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>refrence</em><em> </em><em>angle</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>get</em><em>,</em>

<em>p</em><em>=</em><em>x</em>

<em>b</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>.</em><em>8</em>

<em>h</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>O</em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>also</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>radius</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

<em>n</em><em>ow</em><em>,</em><em> </em>

<em>by</em><em> </em><em>Pythagoras</em><em> </em><em>relation</em><em> </em><em>we g</em><em>et</em><em>, </em>

<em>p =  \sqrt{ {h}^{2}  -  {b}^{2} }</em>

<em>or</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>root</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>.</em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>^</em><em>2</em>

<em>by</em><em> </em><em>simplification</em><em>, </em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>get</em><em>;</em>

<em>the</em><em> </em><em>measure</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>.</em><em>6</em><em>.</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em>, </em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>value</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>.</em><em>6</em><em>.</em>
