-2 (x+1) = -2x +5
-2x+-2 = -2x+5
+2 +2
-2x=-2x+7
+2x +2x
0=7
At this point, you can see that the solution is unsolvable. Obviously, zero does not equal seven. There are zero solutions to the equation

One hose can fill a goldfish pond in 36 minutes, and two hoses can fill the same pond in 20 minutes. Find how long it takes the

rjkz [21]

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that one hose can fill a goldfish pond in 36 minute

So the the first hose can fill goldfish pond $\frac{1}{36}$ per minute

When both fill together then they fill in 20 minutes

So the the both hose can fill goldfish pond $\frac{1}{20}$ per minute

Let Goldfish pond filled by second hose $\frac{1}{x}$ per minute

so $\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{20}$

$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{36}$

x=45 minutes
