I don't think those two expressions would even be equal unless w = 0. You can't just add in a 2 from nowhere.
5+5=10 - Children
5+3=8 - Adult
8+8=16
10+16-26
Answer: 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open
1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe
1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain
1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open
Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x
Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain
2x - x = 12
x = 12 hours

Answer:
A. 64 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
In a linear equation, the "unit rate" is generally the coefficient of the variable. The units of the unit rate depend on the definition of the relationship.
Here, the time t is in hours, so the "unit rate" will be <something> per hour. The answer choices suggest that the <something> is "miles". That is, the units of the equation are ...
(miles/hour) × (hours) = miles
With numbers/variables, that is ...
(64 miles/hour) × (t hours) = 384 miles
The unit rate is 64 miles per hour.
