You have the expression:
And the given values are:
a=5
b=3
c=2
You substitute the given values in the equation:
Then you make the opperations:
Finally, you get:
Answer:
a = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1/4a - 4 = 7/4a - 3
- 1/4a - 7/4a = - 3 + 4
- 8/4a = 1
- a = 1 / 8/4
- a = 1 * 4/8
- a = 4/8
- a = 1/2
a = - 1/2
......
Step-by-step explanation:
d=2r=12
c=12π=37.69
It takes one pipe x minutes, the other pipe x+3 minutes
the portion filled per minute is by one pipe is 1/x, by the second pipe 1/(x+3)
when two pipes running together:
3&1/3[1/x+1/(x+3)] =1, 1 means the whole cistern
solve for x: 3&1/3(x+3) +3 1/3(x)=x(x+3)
6 &2/3 x +10 =x^2+3x
x^2- (3&2/3) x-10=0
3x^2-11x-30=0
this cannot be factored, so use the quadratic equation:
x is about 5.5
x+3=8.5
