In a paint factory, an old conveyer line has filled 10 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 3 barrels per minute.

A worker just switched on a newer line that can fill 4 barrels per minute. In a little while, the two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels. How many barrels will each line have filled?

Answer:

40 barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 4*10 = 40 barrels

10 + 3x = 10 + 3(10) = 40 barrels

Answer:

40 barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let x = number of minutes

Old conveyor line :

Filling rate = 3 barrels per minute

Already filled = 10 barrels

Equation :

10 + 3x - - - (1)

NEW conveyor line:

Filling rate = 4 barrels per minute

Equation :

4x - - - (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2)

10 + 3x = 4x

10 = 4x - 3x

10 = x

Hence, in 10 minutes, each line will have filmed same number of barrels which is

4x = 4*10 = 40 barrels

10 + 3x = 10 + 3(10) = 40 barrels

34kurt

Answer:

B. The observational study is a cross-sectional study because information is collected at a specific point in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) There are three types of Observational Studies: Case-control, cross-sectional and Cohort.

2) Since the researchers collected information from those 1800 adults at a certain time, then we can call it a cross-sectional study. It does not provide solid results since the research was not done over a period to collect further information. We don't know, for example, much more than what that association deeply mean.

3) If we wonder more, then the researchers would have to track those adults over a given period, i.e. a Cohort would be necessary.

4) Moreover, it's not "retrospective" for virtually every question, always makes us look back somehow, and it does not categorize a kind of observational study.

R
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x = 54

y = 47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines p and q are parallel and line r is a transversal intersecting these lines at two different points,

(x + 56)° = (2x + 2)° [corresponding angles]

2x - x = 56 - 2

x = 54

Similarly, lines r and s are parallel lines and q is a transversal line intersecting these lines,

(y + 7)° + (3y - 17)°= 180° [Consecutive exterior angles]

4y - 10 = 180

4y = 190

y = 47.5
