Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and h represent the filling times for the cold and hot taps, respectively. When the cold tap is 1/2 open, we presume that means the filling time becomes 2c.

In terms of baths per minute, the relationships are ...

  1/c + 1/h = 1/3

  1/(2c) +1/h = 1/(3 +1.8) . . . . . 1:48 min:sec is 1.8 minutes

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second, we get ...

  2(1/(2c) +1/h) -(1/c +1/h) = 2(1/4.8) -(1/3)

  1/h = 2/4.8 -1/3 = 1/12

  h = 12

It takes the hot tap 12 minutes to fill the tub alone.

I'm stuck on algebra.
Rainbow [258]
Point slope form : y-y1 = m(x-x1)
slope intercept form : m=(y-y1)/(x-x1)
standard form : Ax + By = C

just pick any random points on a graph and plug the same points into all three forms.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

There may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and cars in the school parking lot, and today, there are 53 wheels in total, if there are 15 bicycles, tricycles, and cars in total, to determine how many tricycles could be in the parking lot, the following calculation must be performed:

13 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 = 57

11 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 53

10 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 53

8 x 4 + 5 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 51

10 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 4 x 4 = 39

9 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 5 x 4 = 49

Therefore, there may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
