Answer: 70 inches
Step-by-step explanation: 25 percent of 56 is 14. 14 + 56 = 70.
<span>replace Y = 5x - 13
into
4x + 3y = 18
</span>
4x + 3 (5x - 13) = 18
4x + 15 - 39 = 18
4x -24 = 18
4x = 18 +24
4x = 42
x = 42/4
x = 10.5
Y = 5(10.5) - 13
= 52.5 - 13
= 39.5
answer: x = 10.5 and y = 39.5
I think c would be the correct answer
Answer:
-60
Step-by-step explanation:
Og problem: x(2x + 2x - 8y + 16)
Substitution: 3(6 + 6 - 48 + 16)
Solve: 3(12 - 48 + 16)
3(-36 + 16)
3(-20) = -60
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
