Answer:

A) 1/(3x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2)/(x³+2x²-9x-18)÷(3x+1)/(x²-9)

(x+2)/(x+2)(x+3)(x-3)÷(3x+1)/(x+3)(x-3)

since it’s dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply

(x+2)/(x+2)(x+3)(x-3) times (x+3)(x-3)/(3x+1)

The (x+2)’s cancel out.

The (x+3)’s cancel out.

The (x-3)’s cancel out.

You are left with 1/(3x+1)

Answer:

1 in = 500 km

Step-by-step explanation:

It is nice to choose a scale that leaves a little border, so one could probably make it ...

10 in = 5000 km

1 in = 500 km

If you'd rather have a "nice" ratio, you could use ...

2.5 cm = 500 km ⇒ 1 : 20,000,000

_____

Additional comment

An inch is 2.54 cm, so using 2.5 cm for the same distance means the map is slightly smaller. It would end up about 9.8 inches wide, leaving a border of almost 0.6 inches on either side.

You might want a scale that makes it easy to draw using the tools you have. If your distances are in km, and you have an inch ruler, then the first choice might be better. If you have a centimeter ruler, then the second scale might work better for you.

The unitless scale is found by doing the division:

$\dfrac{2.5\times10^{-2}\text{ m}}{5.00\times10^5\text{ m}}=\dfrac{1}{2\times10^7}=\dfrac{1}{20,000,000}$

A tank of water holding 528 kL of water begins to empty at a rate of 10 kL/min. At the same time, another tank, which is empty,

mylen [45]

We just need to solve the system.
k = 528 – 10t
k = 14t

14t=528-10t
24t=528
t=22 minutes

k=14*22=308 kl

Final answer: It will take 22 minutes for both tanks to hold equal amounts of water. They will each hold 308 kiloliters.
