The answer is 96 min, here is why:
x / 240 + x / 160 = 1
<span>2x + 3x = 480 </span>
<span>5x = 480 </span>
<span>x = 96 min
(</span><span>Drainage rate of first pipe = 480000/240 = 2000 l/min </span>
<span>Drainage rate of second tube = 480000/160 = 3000 l/min </span>
<span>Combined drainage rate = 5000 l/min </span>
<span>Time to drain = 480000/5000 = 96 min. )</span>
To solve this I'm going to split the middle term.
First multiply the first and last terms:
24x^2
So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x.
This would be 3x and 8x
Rewrite the problem as
4x^2+3x+8x+6
Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms
4x^2 and 8x
and
3x and 6
Factor by grouping
Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2)
Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2)
Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2)
Hope this helps.
