Answer: the Russell family used their sprinkler for 40 hours.

the Gonzalez family used their sprinkler for 20 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours for which the Russell family used their sprinkler.

Let y represent the number of hours for which the Gonzalez family used their sprinkler.

The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 60 hours. It means that

x + y = 60

The water output rate for the Russell family's sprinkler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Gonzalez family's sprinkler was 40L per hour. The total water output of both families was 2200L. It means that

35x + 40y = 2200- - - - - - - - - - --1

Substituting x = 60 - y into equation 1, it becomes.

35(60 - y) + 40y = 2200

2100 - 35y + 40y = 2200

- 35y + 40y = 2200 - 2100

5y = 100

y = 100/5

y = 20

x = 60 - y = 60 - 20

x = 40

How do I make a ten to find the sum
Naddika [18.5K]
Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or ...

What is x? 2x+4x+6x-2(x+3)=34
stellarik [79]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we have to distribute: 2x + 4x + 6x -2x - 6 = 34

Collect like terms: 10x - 6 = 34

We have to isolate x to get it's value: Add 6 to both sides

10x = 40

Divide both sided by 10: x = 4
