Answer:

zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the second equation by -3, it becomes ...

x -3y = 7/3

Compared to the first equation, ...

x -3y = 5

we see that it is inconsistent. No values of the variables can satisfy both equations. There are no solutions.

If 6 pipes fill a tank in 120 minutes, then 5 pipes can fill it in how many minutes

Marianna [84]

Answer:

It'll take 144 minutes for 5 pipes.

Step-by-step explanation:

${ \sf{6 \: pipes = 120 \: mins}} \\ { \sf{5 \: pipes = ( \frac{6}{5} \times 120) \: mins}} \\ \\ = { \sf{144 \: mins}}$

but practically, it seems to be abnormal. if 6 pipes take 120 mins, 5 pipes must takes a time greater than 120 mins cause amount of water flowing to the tank is decreasing.

But there is a possibility that pressure of water was increased for the case of five pipes, that's why it takes a time less than 120 mins. (t < 120)
