Answer: 6 minutes

=========================================

Work Shown

1/3 gallon : 1 minute

3*(1/3 gallon) : 3*(1 minute)

1 gallon : 3 minutes

2*(1 gallon) : 2*(3 minutes)

2 gallons : 6 minutes

-------------

Explanations:

1/3 gallon per minute means 1/3 gallon per every 1 minute
In step 2, I multiplied both sides by 3 to clear out the fraction
In step 4, I multiplied both sides by 2 to get "1 gallon" to turn into "2 gallons"

two circles are externally tangent to each other. One circle has a diameter of 62 yards and the distance between the centers of

maksim [4K]

Answer:

108 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let circle A be the circle with the 62 yard diameter

Let circle B be the circle whose diameter we are trying to solve for.

Externally tangent circles are circles which touch each other and share a common external tangent.
Circle A has a tangent of 62 yards and thus a radius ( half the diameter) of 31 yards.
The distance between the centers of the 2 circles is 85 yards. If you subtract the radius ( distance from the center of the circle to its circumference) of circle A then we'll only be left with the radius of circle B.
85 - 31= 54 yards which is the radius of circle B
To get the diameter: 54 x 2 = 108 yards

Hallar la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto P(-3,-1) y por el punto de intersección de las rectas 2x − y = 9 y 3x − 7y

adell [148]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of a line is y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Get the coordinate of the point of interception of the line 2x - y = 9 and 3x - 7y = 19

Make y the subject of the formula in both expressions

For 2x - y = 9

- y = 9- 2x

y = 2x - 9

Similarly for 3x - 7y = 19

-7y = 19 - 3x

7y = 3x - 19

y = 3/7 x - 19/7

Equating both expressions

2x - 9 = 3/7 x - 19/7

Multiply through ny 7

14x - 63 = 3x - 19

14x - 3x = -19 + 63

11x = 44

x = 44/11

x = 4

Since y =2x - 9

y = 2(4) - 9

y = 8-9

y = -1

Hence the coordinate of intersection is at (4, -1)

Get the equation of the line passing through (-3, -1) and (4, -1)

Slope m = -1+1/4+3

m = 0/7

m = 0

Get the intercept

Substitute m = 0 and (-3, -1) into y = mx+b

-1 = 0(-3) + b

-1 = b

b = -1

Get the required equation

Recall that y = mx + b

y = 0x + (-1)

y = -1

Hence the required equation is y = -1
