m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-16m = 7 + 9
-16m = 16
m = 16 ÷ -16
m = -1
Answer:
The rate is
cups per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
It took the faucet 1 1/2 hours, i.e 1.5 or 3/2 hours to fill 1/4 cup by leaking
We need to find the rate in terms of cups that can be filled by water in 1 hour.
Using unitary method:
If it takes
h for
cup;
then it will take 1 h for how many cups?



cups
Therefore, the rate is
cups per hour
Answer:
3<4x2=4-5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 55.8 do 90/100 then multiply by 62
The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The equations below model the ounces of water, y, in each container after x minutes.


At the time after the start when the containers hold the same amount of water, the two equations must be equal.
⇒
The first step is to divide everything by 2 to make it simplified.
⇒ 
Now put everything on the left
.

Add the like terms together to further reduce the equation

Factorizing the equation to find the roots of the equation.
Here, b = -12 and c = -28
where,
- b is the sum of the roots ⇒ -14 + 2 = -12
- c is the product of the roots ⇒ -14 × 2 = -28
- Therefore, (x-14) (x+2) = 0
- The solution is x = -2 or x = 14
Take x = 14 and substitute in any of the given two equations,
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 328 ounces
∴ The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.
