For this you need to expand the brackets first:
3(2x+5)-4(2x-7) = 6x+15-8x-28
And then now you need to add and simplify:
6x+15-8x-28 —> 6x-8x= -2x
15-28= -13
So that leaves
-2x - 13
The complete question is
John and Matt are going to fill a pool with 2 different sized hoses. John can fill the pool in 5 hours, while Matt can complete it in 10 hours.How long will it take both to fill the pool? Explain each step in solving this equation.
we know that
<span>John can fill the pool in --------------> 5 hours
</span>therefore
<span>I calculate the amount of pool that John fills in one hour
</span>if John can fill 100% of the pool in----------------> 5 hours
X--------------------------------------> 1 hour
X=1/5=0.20 pool/hour
Matt can fill the pool in --------------> 10 hours
therefore
I calculate the amount of pool that Matt fills in one hour
if Matt can fill 100% of the pool in----------------> 10 hours
X--------------------------------------> 1 hour
X=1/10=0.10 pool/hour
<span>adding both amounts
(0.20+0.10)=0.30 -----------> 30% pool/hour
then
</span>if both can fills 30% of the pool in----------------> 1 hour
100%-------------------------------> X
X=100/30=3.33 hours----------> 3 hours + 19 minutes+ 48 sec
the answer is 3.33 hours (3 hours + 19 minutes+ 48 sec)
<span>The equation to determine the amount of pool filling (y) according to time (t) in hours is given by
</span><span>y=0.30*t
</span>
Complementary angles add to 90o
the other angle = x
the first angle = 3x - 4
x + 3x - 4 = 90
4x - 4 = 90
4x = 94
x = 94/4
x = 23.5
the first angle = 3*23.5 - 4 = 66.5
Welllll i don’t really know I just need points so I hope you get a correct answerrrr!!!
