Answer:

1.56 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Rate of first inlet

= 1 pool per 7 hours

= (1/7) pool per hour

Rate of 2nd inlet

= 1 pool in 2 hours

= (1/2) pool per hour

Combined rate = Rate of 1st inlet + Rate of 2nd inlet

= 1/7 + 1/2

= 2/14 + 7/14

= 9/14 pool per hour

taking the inverse of the combined rate gives the time it takes to fill the pool in hours. Hence,

Time for Both pipes to fill the pool = 1 / (9/14) = 14/9 = 1.56 hours

Describe how you would tell that two lines are parallel or coincide by looking at the equations of the lines in standard form.
Talja [164]
We can determine from their equations whether two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel.

Unlike parallel lines, perpendicular lines do intersect. Their intersection forms a right, or 90-degree, angle.

If a * b means a2-b2, find the value of 6 * (2 * 3)
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the parenthesis to begin with

2*3 = 2² - 3² = 4 - 9 = - 5

Thus

6 * (- 5) = 6² - (- 5)² = 36 - 25 = 11
