Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 identical pumps working to fill a pool. If it takes them working  together 8 hours to fill the pool, the equation is:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{8} and

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8} . Cross multiply to get

x = 24, which is the number of hours it will take one pump to do the job all alone. If this be the case, and we have 4 pumps WORKING AT THE SAME TIME, filling the pool will be <u>the number of hours it takes one pump</u> divided by <u>4</u>.

4 pumps can do the job in 6 hours.

skad [1K]

Answer:

Let the scores on the first two test be x

Let score for third test be 14 exceeds second( or first) = x + 14

Total = 233

x + x + (x + 14) = 233

3x + 14 = 233

3x = 219

x = 73

Score of the third test = x + 14 = 73 + 14 = 87

Therefore, the scores are 73, 73, 87
