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.

Area of square is numerically less than twice its diagonal by 2. Find its Perimeter.
Usimov [2.4K]
2D-a^2=2

2(a√2) -a^2=2

a^2-2√2*a+2=0

2a= 2√2 + √(8-4*2) = 2√2 
hence, perimeter = 4a = 2*2a=2*2√2 = 4√2

Answer:

It comes down to what the equals sign means. It means,  that the two things mentioned on either side of the equation are the same thing. If you do something to the left side, you have presumably changed it.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

From the graph, we see the line crosses the y-axis at y = 15. That means the y-intercept is 15, and we have so far y = mx + 15.

Now we need the slope. On the graph we see that for every 3 units up in y, there is 1 unit to the right in x. The slope is 3/1 = 3. m = 3. Now we add the slope to the equation.

y = 3x + 15

Answer: y = 3x + 15
