Hi!
Our goal is to isolate x on one side by doing the same operation on both sides.
First let's use the distribution property.
-2 x 6 = -12
-2 x 3 = -6
-12x - 6 = -27 - 5x
Add 6 to both sides
-12x - 6 + 6 = -27 + 6 - 5x
-12x = -21 - 5x
Add 5x to both sides
-12x + 5x = -21 - 5x + 5x
-7x = -21
Divide by -7 on both sides
-7x/-7 = -21/-7
x = 3
The answer is x = 3
Hope this helps! :)
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
Answer:
18/36 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 18 nickels, which is the numerator.
You add all the numbers together to get the denominator, which is 12+6+18=36.
Then, you put the two values in a fraction - 18/36
and simplify, to get you 1/2.
Answer: Each age is 12 more than the last so the rate of change would be twelve. Yes it is linear, every twelve pounds is 2.5 more millimeters of dosage.
