The answer is 96 min, here is why:
x / 240 + x / 160 = 1
<span>2x + 3x = 480 </span>
<span>5x = 480 </span>
<span>x = 96 min
(</span><span>Drainage rate of first pipe = 480000/240 = 2000 l/min </span>
<span>Drainage rate of second tube = 480000/160 = 3000 l/min </span>
<span>Combined drainage rate = 5000 l/min </span>
<span>Time to drain = 480000/5000 = 96 min. )</span>
Problem 1:
1) 3/5x-1 x 3/4=9/10
3x/5-1 x 3/4=9/10
2) 3x/5-1 x 3/4=9/10
3x/5-3/4=9/10
3) 3x/5-3/4=9/10
+3/4 +3/4
4) 3x/5=33/20
5) 5 x 3x/5= 5 x (33/20)
6) 3x=33/4
7) 3x=33/4
/3 /3
8) x=11/4
Problem 2:
1) 6/7+2/5x=-4/5
6/7+2x/5=-4/5
2) 6/7+2x/5=-4/5
-6/7 -6/7
3) 2x/5= --58/35
4) 5 x 2x/5= 5 x (--58/35)
5) 2x= --58/7
6) 2x= --58/7
/2 /2
x= --29/7
