If Pipe 1 (P1) takes x hours to fill the pool, Pipe 2 (P1) and pipe 2 (P2) takes (x-9) hours to fill the pool, and pipe 2 (P2) takes (x+7) hours to fill the pool.

That is,
P1 = x hrs
P1+P2 = (x-9) hrs
P3 = (x+7) hrs

In 1 hour, P1 fills 1/x of the pool, P1+P2 fills 1/(x-9) of the pool and P2 fills 1/(1+7) of the pool.
Therefore,
1/x+1/(1+7) = 1/(x-9) => ((x+7)+x)/(x)(x+7)=1/(x-9) => (2x+7)/x^2+7x = 1/(x-9) => (2x+7)(x-9)=x^2+7x => x^2-18x-63 =0 
Solving for x
x= (-b+/- sqrt (b^2-4ac)/2a, where a=1, b=18, and c=63
Substituting;
x1=21 and x2=-3 (the  negative x is ignored as it does not make sense).
Therefore, x = 21
This means,
P1 takes 21 hours to fill the pool
P1+P2 takes (21-9) hours = 12 hours to fill the pool while P3 takes (21+7) hours = 28 hours

Suppose you are given a parabola with two points that have the same y-value, such as (-7, 11) and (3, 11). Explain how to find t
Hoochie [10]

By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

<h3>How to derive the equation of the axis of symmetry </h3>

In this question we know the locations of two points with the same y-value, which means that the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis and that both points are equidistant. Thus, the axis of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the line segment whose ends are those points.

First, calculate the coordinates of the midpoint by the midpoint formula:

M(x, y) = 0.5 · (- 7, 11) + 0.5 · (3, 11)

M(x, y) = (- 2, 11)

Second, look for the first coordinate of the midpoint and derive the equation of the line associated with the axis of symmetry:

x = - 2

By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form then change it to standard form with integer coefficients.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

1. Slope-intercept form:   y = 2x - 4

Standard form:   2x - y = 4

2. Slope-intercept form:  y = \dfrac12x - 1

Standard form:             x - 2y = 2

3. Slope-intercept form:   y = \dfrac45x + \dfrac{21}{5}

Standard form:            4x -5y = - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:   y = mx + b

where:

  • y = y-coordinate
  • m = slope
  • x = x-coordinate
  • b = y-intercept

Standard form:  Ax + By = C

\textsf{1.  as} \ m=2: \ \ y = 2x + b

   \textsf{at} \  (6, 8): \ \ 8 = 2(6) + b

   \implies b = -4

Slope-intercept form:   y = 2x - 4

Standard form:   2x - y = 4

\textsf{2.  as} \  \ m = \dfrac12: \ \ y = \dfrac12x + b

    \textsf{at} \  (4, 1): \ \ 1 = \dfrac12(4) + b

    \implies b = -1

Slope-intercept form:  y = \dfrac12x - 1

Standard form:             x - 2y = 2

\textsf{3.  as} \  \ m = \dfrac45: \ \ y = \dfrac45x + b

   \textsf{at} \  (1,5): \ \ 5 = \dfrac45(1) + b

   \implies b = \dfrac{21}{5}

Slope-intercept form:   y = \dfrac45x + \dfrac{21}{5}

Standard form:            4x -5y = - 21

What is the solution to the linear equation? 2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p ​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p

Multiply each side by 5 to clear the fractions

5(2/5 + p) = 5(4/5 + 3/5p)

2 +5p = 4 + 3p

Subtract 3p from each side

2+5p-3p = 4+3p-3p

2+2p = 4

Subtract 2 from each side

2+2p -2 = 4-2

2p =2

Divide by 2

2p/2 = 2/2

p=1

What is the solution set of x2 + y2 = 26 and x − y = 6? A. {(5, -1), (-5, 1)} B. {(1, 5), (5, 1)} C. {(-1, 5), (1, -5)} D. {(5,
Rus_ich [418]
He two equations given are
x^2 + y^2 = 26
And
x - y = 6
x = y +6
Putting the value of x from the second equation to the first equation, we get
x^2 + y^2 = 26
(y + 6) ^2 + y^2 = 26
y^2 + 12y + 36 + y^2 = 26
2y^2 + 12y + 36 - 26 = 0
2y^2 + 12y + 10 = 0
y^2 + 6y + 5 = 0
y^2 + y + 5y + 5 = 0
y(y + 1) + 5 ( y + 1) = 0
(y + 1)(y + 5) = 0
Then 
y + 1 = 0
y = -1
so x - y = 6
     x + 1 = 6
x = 5
Or
y + 5 = 0
y = - 5
Again x = 1
So the solutions would be (-1, 5), (1 , -5). The correct option is option "C".
