There are 5 large dogs and 3 small dogs

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "S" be the number of small dogs

Let "L" be the number of large dogs

<em><u>Given that There are a total of 8 small and large dogs</u></em>

So we can frame a equation as:

number of small dogs + number of large dogs = 8

S + L = 8 ------- eqn 1

<em><u>You realize there are 2 more large dogs than small dogs</u></em>

Number of large dogs = 2 + number of small dogs

L = 2 + S  -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "L" and "S"</u></em>

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

S + 2 + S = 8

2S + 2 = 8

2S = 6

<h3>S = 3</h3>

Substitute S = 3 in eqn 2

L = 2 + 3 = 5

<h3>L = 5</h3>

Thus there are 5 large dogs and 3 small dogs

A swimming pool is filled with water by using two taps A and B. Alone, it takes tap A 3 hours less than B to fill the same pool.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Tap A 3hrs

Tap B 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the swimming pool be Xm^3.

Now, to get the appropriate volume, we know we need to multiply the rate by the time. Let the rate of the taps be R1 and R2 respectively, while the time taken to fill the swimming pool be Ta and Tb respectively.

x/Ta= Ra

x/Tb= Rb

X/(Ra + Rb)= 2

Ta = Tb - 3

From equation 2:

X = 2( Ra + Rb)

Substituting the values of Ra and Rb Using the first set of equations

X = 2( x/Ta + x/Tb)

But Ta = Tb - 3

1/2 = 1/(Tb - 3)+ 1/Tb

0.5 = (Tb + Tb-3)/Tb(Tb - 3)

At this juncture let’s say Tb = y

0.5 = (2y - 3)/y(y - 3)

y(y-3 ) = 4y - 6

y^2 -3y - 4y + 6 = 0

y^2 -7y + 6= 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get y =

y = Tb = 6hrs or 1hr

We remove one hour as we know that Tap A takes 3hrs left than tap B and there is nothing like negative hours

Now, we get Ta by Tb -3 = 6 - 3 = 3hrs

John is trying to drain a swimming pool. He has two pumps, but he can only use one at a time. He knows that the time a pump take

It would take 6 \frac{1}{4} hours or 6.25 hours if John uses the 100 watt pump.

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = - 4 x - 7 ?​
Degger [83]

Answer:

(0, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since -4x is the slope, then -7 is the y-intercept.

For finding y intercept we substitute x=0

y = -7

The ordered pair would be

(0,-7)

hope this helps and is right. p.s. i really need brainliest :)

How do you get 40y from the difference of 2 squares with the problem (5y+4+3x)(5y+4-3x)? I understand distribution method. I don
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5y+4+3x)(5y+4-3x) = (5y+4)² - (3x)²......(from the difference of 2 squares )

by identity : (a+b)(a-b) = a² - b²

in this exercice ; a = 5y+4 and b  = 3x
