X intercept is 5,0
y intercept is 0,10
Answer: add over and over again
Step-by-step explanation:How do you get from 0 to 3? you add 3 to 0. Then, how do you get from 3 to 8? you add another 3 but then you a 2 too, so then 8. Lastly, my last example, how to get from 8 to 15. You take five, and then add 2 to it and add that number(then number you get when you add 5+1), 7 to 8.
Let a, b, and c be the times each pump will fill the tank when working alone.
Therefore, in 1 hour;
1/a +1/b = 1/(6/5) = 5/6 ---- (1)
1/a+1/c = 1/(3/2) = 2/3 ---- (2)
1/b+1/c = 1/(2) = 1/2 ---- (3)
From equation (1)
1/a = 5/6-1/b
Substituting for 1/a in eqn (2)
5/6-1/b+1/c = 2/3
-1/b +1/c = -1/6 => 1/c = 1/b - 1/6 --- (4)
Using eqn (4) in eqn (3)
1/b+1/b-1/6 = 1/2
2/b-1/6 = 1/2
2/b =1/2+1/6 = 2/3
1/b = 1/3
Then,
1/c = 1/3 - 1/6 = 1/6
1/a = 5/6 - 1/3 = 1/2
This means, in 1 hour and with all the pumps working together, the tank will be filled to;
1/a+1/b+1/c = 1/2+1/3+1/6 = 1 (filled fully).
Therefore, it will take 1 hour to fill the tank when all pumps are working together.
