Answer:
Y-Intercepts = (0,14)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72
So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)
</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
</span>
<span>Now solve for x
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The length in centimeters is (24-x) centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, we are told that the equation linking the length, width and perimeter is as follows;
2(length) + 2(width) = 48
But in this case, we are told that the width is x centimeters
2(length) + 2(x) = 48
2(length) = 48-2x
length = (48-2x)/2
length = 24 - x
