Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say

d1 the outflow of the first pump

d2 the outflow of the second pump

V=1 is the volume of the tank

Since the second pump takes twice as long as the first to fill the tank,

V=1=k*d_1*t\\V=1=k*d_2*(2*t)\\==>\ d_1=2*d_2\\\\

Two pumps can fill a pool tank in 26 hours when working together:

V=1=k*(d_1+d_2)*26 \ ==> V=1=k*(3*d_2)*26 \  ==>k=\dfrac{1}{3*d_2*26} \\\\

How long does it take the first pump alone to fill the tank:

V=1=k*d_1*t=k*2*d_2*t=k*3d_2*26\\2*t=3*26\\\\t=\frac{3*26}{2} \\\\t=3*13\\\\t=39\ (hours)

What are the coordinates of the center of a circle whose equation is (x + 7)2 + (y – 5)2 = 16?
Dafna11 [192]
Hi there! The answer is ( - 7, 5)

The standard form of the equation of a circle is the following:
(x - a) {}^{2}  + (y - b) {}^{2}  = r {}^{2}

In this equation r represents the radius of the circle and the point (a, b) is its centre.

Therefore, the centre of the circle
(x + 7) {}^{2}  + (y - 5) {}^{2}  = 16
is the point ( - 7, 5).

The perimeter of a rectangular
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a rectangle, we know for sure that perimeter = double the width and double the height. Algebraically, that looks like:

P = 2W + 2H

Let's sub in the given values, P and W:

18 = 2(4) + 2H

Now, let's solve for the height, H:

18 = 8 + 2H

10 = 2H

10/2 = H

<u>5 = H</u>

I hope this helps!
