Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 20 = 4
add 20 to both sides
3x - 20 + 20 = 4 + 20
3x = 24
divide both sides by 3
= 
x = 8
-5+-12 is -17
For lack of a better metaphor, it's like digging a pit deeper than it already is.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add:- 
and 
So, 
Add 7 to both sides:-
Divide both sides by 11:-

Answer:
(3, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is is the standard y=|x| except the values tells you that x shifts 3 (within the absolute value or parentheses x does the opposite) to the right and the y value shifts 5 up (numbers outside parentheses affects y and does what it says). You can try using a table of values then graphing to check your answer.
