Answer:

3.6 hours or 3 hours and 36 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first pipe can fill the pool in 9 hours that means that in 1 hour it fills \frac{1}{9} of the pool, we use the same logic for the second pipe and conclude that in 1 hour it feels up \frac{1}{6} of the pool. If both were to fill the pool together that means that in 1 hour they would fill...

\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{18} of the pool in 1 hour.

Now to find how many hours it will take divide the pool by the speed with which it is getting filled.

1 / \frac{5}{18} = 3.6 hours

3.6 hours in other words is 3 hours and 36 minutes.

Solve these simultaneous equations Using the algerbraic method
kherson [118]
The second equation equals: 3X +18y=60 (Both sides times 3)
And then use this new equation minus the first equation, you will get:
Left side: (3X +18y) - (<span>3x+6y)
Right side: 60-30
So 12y=30
Then y=2.5
Take y value into one of the three equations, you will get x=5

or

in another easier way:

Directly minus the second equation from the first one:
</span>(3x+6y) -(<span>X+6y)=10
</span>2X = 10
X = 5
Get Y is easy, Y=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:
