Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of drainage for pump A and B = [1 pool drained]/[6 hours]

Rate of drainage for pump A (older pump) = [1 pool drained]/[15 hours]

Rate for pump B (newer pump) = [1 pool drained]/[t hours]

Thus, adding the rate of drainage of A and B,

1/t + 1/15 = 1/6

t=10

A flagpole is 12 feet tall. Its shadow is 14 ft long. How far is it from the top of the
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft

AB = length of shadow = 14 ft

BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,

x² = AC² + BC²

   = 12² + 14²

  = 144 + 196

  = 340

x = √340

x = 18.4 ft

katen-ka-za [31]
I got X=11

Minus 7x on both sides
The equation the becomes :
-2x +179=157
Subtract 179 from both sides
Equation now is:
-2x= -22
Divide -2 on both sides
X= 11

Answer:

  • Slope: -2
  • equation: y = -2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point is the y-intercept of the line, so the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line can be used:

  y = mx + b . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

Here, you have the slope given as ...

  m = -2

  y-intercept = 5

so the equation of the line is ...

  y = -2x +5

_____

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0. The point (x, y) = (0, 5) tells you the y-intercept is 5.
