let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.
next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.

To calculate the gain or lose of any 2 numbers, always do
Final - Initial
So,
-50 - -150
Is like saying
I have negative 50, and I take away negative 150.
Taking away negative numbers is just addition.
-50 + 150 = 100
Subtract the distances.
Subtract the times.
Divide he difference in distance by the difference in time.
Answer:
or Decimal: 6.19677...
Step-by-step explanation:
A + (-5) = -12
First isolate your variable so move the -5 over (by adding 5 to both sides)
Then you will have a = -12+5
Simplify and you get A= -7
