Answer:

  • 40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Rate of filling is 1/15
  • Rate of draining is 1/20

<u>If both lines are open the rate of filling is:</u>

  • 1/15 - 1/20 = 4/60 - 3/60 = 1/60 per hour

Since tank is 1/3 full we need to fill the remaining 2/3 of it.

<u>Time required:</u>

  • 2/3 : 1/60 =
  • 2/3*60 =

Find the 13th term of the arithmetic sequence -3x+7, -5x+3, -7x-1, ...
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a₁₃ = - 27x - 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 3x + 7

d = a₂ - a₁ = - 5x + 3 - (- 3x + 7)

                 = - 5x + 3 + 3x - 7

                 = - 2x - 4

Then

a₁₃ = - 3x + 7 + 12(- 2x - 4)

     = - 3x + 7 - 24x - 48

     = - 27x - 41

What is the probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section? one-fifth two-fifths three-fifths f
Tasya [4]

The probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section is; 3/5

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

From the spinner attached, we see that the number of sections on the spinner is 5 sections.

Now, we can also see that;

Number of even numbers section = 2

Number of shaded sections = 1

Thus, probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section is;

P(even number or unshaded section) = (2 + 1)/5 = 3/5

The area of a triangle is found by multiplying half of the measure of its base by its height. The area of the following right tr
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

\sf Area\:of\:a\:triangle=\dfrac12 \times base \times height

Given:

  • area = 18 cm²
  • base = 6 cm
  • height = (h + 1) cm

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for h:

\sf \implies 18 = \sf \dfrac12 \times 6 \times (h+1)

\sf \implies 18 = \sf \dfrac62 (h+1)

\sf \implies 18 =3(h+1)

expand using distributive property of addition a(b+c)=ab+ac:

\sf \implies 18=3h+3

subtract 3 from both sides:

\sf \implies 3h=15

divide both sides by 3:

\sf \implies h=5

<u>To verify</u>:

Half of the base is 3 cm.

If h=5, then the height of the triangle is 6 cm.

Multiplying 3 by 6 is 18.

This matches the given area, so we can verify that h = 5.
