Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = number of minutes

the following equation can be derived from the question

9.2 +  2.4x = 109.2 - 1.6x

the equations are equated together because it is expected the gallons of water in both tanks would be equal after sometime

collect like terms

2.4x + 1.6x = 109.2 - 9.2

4x = 100

x = 100/4 = 25 minutes

Given the midpoint (1.5,1.5) and the endpoint (5,7) where is the other endpoint located
earnstyle [38]

The formula of a midpoint:

M_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2},\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)

We have:

M(1.5,\ 1.5)\to x_M=1.5,\ y_M=1.5\\A(5,\ 7)\to x_A=5,\ y_A=7

Substitute

\dfrac{5+x_B}{2}=1.5\qquad|\cdot2\\\\5+x_B=3\qquad|-5\\\\x_B=-2\\\\\dfrac{7+y_B}{2}=1.5\qquad|\cdot2\\\\7+y_B=3\qquad|-7\\\\y_B=-4

Which are the solution of x2=-5x+8
yawa3891 [41]

rewrite the equation set = to 0.

x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0

The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.

x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2

x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2


The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.
