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)

Tony made 52 decorations for the class party. He made 7 times as many ecorations as Jack did, but he lost 4. Which equation coul
Rufina [12.5K]
7x-4=52 is correct because he made 7 times more than Jack which is 7x. For example if Jack made 8 decorations, 7 x (8) = 56. If you subtract 4 from 56 you get 52. Therefore, the equation 7x-4=52 is correct.

Answer:

r  = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of r we will use the pythagoras theorem a shown;

PR² = QR² + PQ²

(4+r)² = 8² + r²

Expand

16+8r+r² = 64 + r²

16 + 8r = 64

8r = 64 - 16

8r = 48

r = 48/8

r = 6

Hence the value of r is 6
