Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

  • faucet takes 15 minutes to fill the tub, so how much of the full tub is added per minute?
  • 15 minutes=1added/minute\\1minute=\frac{1}{15} added/minute
  • drain takes 20 minutes to empty the tub so how much of the full tub is lost per minute?
  • 20minutes=1lost/minute\\1minute=\frac{1}{20} lost/minute
  • How long it takes to fill the tub can be found by how much of it is added per minute minus lost per minute
  • totalfilled/minute=added/minute-lost/minute\\=\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{60}
  • So one sixtieth of the tub is filled a minute, so that 60 parts of the tub, each taking a minute, that's 60 minutes or 1 hour

20x^2=256+128x. Solve by Factoring.
givi [52]
Hey there,
20x ^ 2 = 256 + 128x
400x = 256 + 128x
400x - 128x = 256
272x = 256
x = 256 / 272
   = <span>0.94117647058
   =0.9

Hope this helps :))
