The large hose fills 1 pool in 9 hours written as 1/9
The small hose fills 1 pool in 18 hours, written as 1/18
Now you have 1/9 + 1/18 = 1/x ( x is the unknown time for both hoses).
rewrite 1/9 with a common denominator as 1/18:
1/9 = 2/18
Now you have 2/18 + 1/18 = 1/x
Add the left side:
2/18 + 1/18 = 3/18
Now you have 3/18 = 1/x
Cross Multiply:
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3"
x = 18/3
X = 6
It will take both hoses 6 hours.
2 cm. because you would subtract 5 and 3.
Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the cost of the desktop
then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.
.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227
.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227
.125x = 218.75
x = 1750
desktop (x) = $1750
laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
The answer 12/72 because you multiply
So I would say 4/18 but it could probably be 18/81 to
