Look at the picture.
The equation:
10x - 15 = 6x + 9 <em>add 15 to both sides</em>
10x = 6x + 24 <em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>
4x = 24 <em>divide both sides by 4</em>
<h3>
x = 6</h3>
Answer:
56 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of gallons of water in the pool per minute;
750 divided by 35 = 150/7
Let the time needed to fill a 1,200 gallon pool be t.
t x 150/7 = 1,200
t x 21.42857142857143... = 1,200
t = 1,200/21.42857142857143
t = 56 mins
Answer: 52.94
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of train A = 480m
Tunnel length = 1320m
Time taken to cross tunnel = 2 mins = 120sec
Length of train B = 420m
Train B is slower than train A
Difference between their speed = 18km/hr
18km/hr = (18×1000)/3600 = 5m/s
Speed of train A :
Speed = distance / time
Speed = 1320 / 120 = 11m/s
Therefore, speed of train B :
(11 - 5)m/s = 6m/s
Relative speed of the two trains is therefore;
(Speed of A + speed of B)
Note : they are moving in opposite direction
( 11 + 6)m/s = 17m/s
Therefore time taken to cross each other :
(Sum of the length of both trains / relative speed of the trains)
Time taken = (480m + 420m) / (17m/s)
Time taken = 900m / 17m/s
Time taken = 52.94s
