Answer:

40! Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for After how many seconds will the two fish tanks have the same amount of water

First step

Based on the information given let the equation be :

150-1/2x=120+1/4x

Second step

Now let solve for x which means that x will be the number of second by multiplying both side by 4

4(150-1/2x)=4(120+1/4x)

=600-2x=480+x

Third step

Let Add 2x on both side

600=480+3x

Third step

Let Subtract 480 on both side

600-480=480-480+3x

120=3x

Last step is to divide both side by 3

120/3=3x/3

40=x

Hence:

x=40 seconds

Therefore After 40 seconds the two fish tanks will have the same amount of water.

Homework help, one of the few I have
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

x=4 and the solution is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{2x+1}=3 \\\\2x+1=9 \\\\2x=8 \\\\x=4

This solution is not extraneous, because plugging it back in you get:

\sqrt{2(4)+1}=3 \\\\\sqrt{9}=3 \\\\3=3

Hope this helps!
