Here is some pro tips, I take algebra 1, and I’m in middle school too.
x * x = x^2
If you see anything like (x + 5)(x - 5), solve using FOIL, (front, outer, inner, last), it’s basically the distributive property for four numbers and x’es.
Distributive property is a must know.
And also, if you are feeling nervous, remember, even if you fail the leap test, it doesn’t make you less of a intelligent, kind, and caring person.
answer = 7&3
step by step solution
let's take X and Y two intigers
X+Y=10
X-Y=4
adding both equation
X=7
Y=3
Answer and explanation:
1. In one minute, there would be zero pounds of salt in the bucket because there's 0.25 pounds of salt in one minute and 0.5 gallons of water leaves the bucket in same minute, eliminating the 0.25 pounds of salt.
2. In ten minutes there would be zero pounds of salt because theres 0.25×10= 2.5 pounds of salt and 0.5×10=5 gallons of water would leave the bucket, eliminating the salt.
3. In 60 minutes there would still be zero salt because water leaves the bucket more than salt enters
4. Zero salt too after bucket leaks
5. Zero salt
