The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
Answer:
24 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question shows up in a great many places in math or physics, so it is a pretty good question to learn how to do.
First you should note that answer will be under 40 minutes.
1/40 + 1/60 = 1/TimeTotal
The common denominator on the left is 120 minutes
3/40*3 + 2/60*2 = 1/timetotal
3/120 + 2/120 = 1/ timetotal
5/120 = 1/time total Now to use to the key stop
What you do now is you always turn the left side over. You do the same thing to total time.
120/5 = total time
24 = total time
What this means is that if you let both pipes run for 24 minutes, they will fill the tank working together.

Answer:
SO is this a question????????????????/
Step-by-step explanation:
This is kinda confusing :/
If your solving for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
-24 ≤ 3x - 9 First add 9 on both sides
-24 + 9 ≤ 3x - 9 + 9
-15 ≤ 3x Then divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
-5 ≤ x [or x ≥ -5 if you prefer "x" to be on the left side]
