Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2
3x-4=14
Add 4
3x=18
Divide by 3
x=6

Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Method 1.</em>
slope = rise/run
Rise is vertical distance.
Run is horizontal distance.
Find two points that are easy to read (on grid intersections):
(2, -1) and (5, 0).
Start at (2, 1). You need to go to (5, 0) by moving only vertically and horizontally. Go up 1 unit. That is a rise of 1. Now go right 3 units. That is a run of 3.
rise = 1
run = 3
slope = rise/run = 1/3
<em>Method 2.</em>
Use the slope formula and two points on the line.

Use points (2, -1) and (5, 0).



slope = 1/3
New pump:
5 hours = 1 pool
1 hour = 1/5 pool
Old pump:
15h = 1 pool
1h = 1/15 pool
If both work together
1h = 1/5 + 1/15 = 4/15 pool
4/15 pool = 1 hour
1/15 pool = 1/4 hour
15/15 pool = 1/4 x 15
1 pool = 3.75 hours or 3 hours 45 mins
