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)

What two numbers multiply to -50 and add up to -23
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

-25 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -23

xy = 50, so y = 50 /x

.

x + 50/x =-23,  x^2 +23x - 50 = (x-2)(x+25)

so 2 and -25

Move all the logarithms on the left hand side, and all the constants on the other:

\log_2(x-2) - \log_2(x) = -1

Use the rule of logarithms

\log_a(b) - \log_a(c) = \log_a\left(\dfrac{b}{c}\right)

To rewrite the equation as

\log_2\left(\dfrac{x-2}{x}\right) = -1

Evaluate 2 to the power of each side:

\dfrac{x-2}{x} = 2^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2x:

2(x-2) = x \iff 2x-4 = x \iff x = 4
