Answer:

<u>It'll</u><u> </u><u>take</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>minutes</u><u> </u><u>for</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>pipes</u><u>.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

{ \sf{6 \: pipes = 120 \: mins}} \\ { \sf{5 \: pipes = ( \frac{6}{5}  \times 120) \: mins}} \\  \\  = { \sf{144 \: mins}}

but practically, it seems to be abnormal. if 6 pipes take 120 mins, 5 pipes must takes a time greater than 120 mins cause amount of water flowing to the tank is decreasing.

Answer:

144 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

here we use inverse proportion because the more pipes there are the less time is needed

the formula for inverse proportion is <em>y = k/x</em>

first we need to find <em>k</em> which is the constant

if <em>y</em> is the number of minutes and <em>x</em> is the number of pipes we can substitute these into the formula like so: 120 = <em>k</em>/6

to find <em>k</em> rearrange the formula to get <em>k</em> = 6 * 120 = 720

now that we have <em>k</em> we can substitute 720 (<em>k</em>) and 5 (<em>x</em>) into <em>y = k/x</em>

<em>y</em> = 720 / 5

<em>y</em> = 144

<em>(y</em> is the number of minutes in this case so the answer is 144 minutes)

All points on a given line have their y-coordinate as 9. What is the equation of this line? A. x + y = 9 B. x – y = 9 C. x = 9 D
Phoenix [80]

D. y = 9 because it has a complete zero slope while the y-intercept of the equation is 9, so the equation is y = 9.

PLEASE HELP!
Kitty [74]
You can reword the two equations as:

-5x-y=15 (Divide original value by 3)
-2x+6y=6

Then use elimination to find x:

-30x-6y=90 (Multiply by 6 to get y values to be same to cancel out)
-2x+6y=6

You're left with:

-32x=96. Which can then be solved to find x which is -3.

Then plug back in 

-2x+6y=6

Now to: -2(-3)+6y=6.

Which reduces to 6+6y=6. So y=0.



To graph them, just reword the equations (yes once again) so that y is in front.

y=-5x-15 and y=(1/3)x+1
