Two pipes running together can fill a tank in 20 minutes.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

45, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.

x-y=9

(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n

n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n

here u get:

(1/x+1/y)*20=1

you sub x=9+y into the above equation

1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20

((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)

180+40y=9y+y2

y2-31y-180=0

then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5

-5 is rejected because it is negative

x=36+9=45

therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins

Answer: 432 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed by two trapezoids.

The formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where "B" is the larger base, "b" is the smaller base and "h" is the height.

Let be A_f the area of the figure, A_1 the area of the trapezoid on the left and A_2 the area of the trapezoid of the right. Then the area of the figure will be:

 A_f=A_1+A_2

A_f=\frac{h_1}{2}(B_1+b_1)+\frac{h_2}{2}(B_2+b_2)

Substituting values, you get:

A_f=\frac{16units}{2}(25units+4units)+\frac{10units}{2}(25units+15units)=432units^2

Solve the equation. Then check your solution. – two-fifths + a = One-fifth a. Three-fifths c. StartFraction 3 Over 10 EndFractio
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a = Negative one-fifth

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

\dfrac{2}{5}+a=\dfrac{1}{5}

We need to find the value of a.

Subtract 2/5 from both sides.

\dfrac{2}{5}+a-\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\a=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\\\\a=\dfrac{-1}{5}

So, the correct answer is Negative one-fifth. Hence, the correct option is (b).

AlexFokin [52]
4p = 2p + 3c....p = popcorn, c = candy bars
c = 6

4p = 2p + 3(6)
4p = 2p + 18
4p - 2p = 18
2p = 18
p = 18/2
p = 9......whoa....9 bucks for popcorn....nothing is cheap anymore
