Answer:

It will take 25.7 minutes when they are working together

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know how long it will take both pipe working together to drain the tank

Let the volume of water to be drained be xL

for the first one, rate is

x/45 L/minutes

for the second x/60 L/minutes

Joint rate will be

x/45 + x/60 = 4x + 3x/180 = 7x/180

Now go get the time involved here, we simply divide the volume by the rate

That would be;

x divided by 7x/180

= x * 180/7x

= 180/7 = 25.7 minutes

Find the values of x and y​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

x = 3, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2 raised to what power gives you 16?

2*2*2*2 = 16 so 2^4

3 raised to what power gives you 9?

3*3 = 9 so 3^2

the exponent cannot be negative so x has to be greater than y and x cannot be the same as y otherwise you will get a 0.

x = 3 , y = 1

2^(3+1) = 2^4 = 16

3^(3-1) = 3^2 = 9

Answer:

6.63 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The segments within the circle form a right angle. Triangle CRS as a right triangle must follow the Pythagorean theorem which says the square of each leg adds to the square of the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

Here a is unknown, b = 10 and c = 12.

a² + 10² = 12²

a² + 100 = 144

a² = 44

a = √44 = 6.63
