Find x, GH, and HI .

Mathematics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]2 years ago

Given that GI = 53, and
• GH = 3x - 11
• HI = 2x + 4

We can establish the following equality statement to solve for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

Combine like terms:
5x - 7 = 53

Add 7 to both sides:
5x - 7 + 7 = 53 + 7
5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 60/5

x = 12

Substitute the value of x into the equality statement to verify if it is the correct value for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

3(12) - 11 + 2(12) + 4 = 53
36 - 11 + 24 + 4 = 53
53 = 53 (True statement. Thus, x = 12 is the correct value).

Therefore:
GH = 3x - 11
GH = 3(12) - 11
GH = 25

HI = 2x + 4
HI = 2(12) + 4
HI = 28

Pumps a, b, and c operate at their respective constant rates. pumps a and b, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i
MrMuchimi
Let a, b, and c be the times each pump will fill the tank when working alone.

Therefore, in 1 hour;

1/a +1/b = 1/(6/5) = 5/6 ---- (1)
1/a+1/c = 1/(3/2) = 2/3 ---- (2)
1/b+1/c = 1/(2) = 1/2 ---- (3)

From equation (1)
1/a = 5/6-1/b

Substituting for 1/a in eqn (2)
5/6-1/b+1/c = 2/3
-1/b +1/c = -1/6 => 1/c = 1/b - 1/6 --- (4)

Using eqn (4) in eqn (3)
1/b+1/b-1/6 = 1/2
2/b-1/6 = 1/2
2/b =1/2+1/6 = 2/3
1/b = 1/3
Then,
1/c = 1/3 - 1/6 = 1/6
1/a = 5/6 - 1/3 = 1/2

This means, in 1 hour and with all the pumps working together, the tank will be filled to;
1/a+1/b+1/c = 1/2+1/3+1/6 = 1 (filled fully).

Therefore, it will take 1 hour to fill the tank when all pumps are working together.

pickupchik [31]

If the triangle is increased to twice the base and the height the size will increase by 48 ft²

<h3>How to find the area of a triangle?</h3>

The area of a triangle can be described as follows;

area of a triangle = 1 / 2 bh

where

  • b = base
  • h = height

Therefore, the total area of the garden is 16 square feet.

Hence,

16 ft² = 1 / 2 bh

Hence, if the the triangle is increased to twice the base and the height the size will be as follows;

area = (1 / 2) × 2b × 2h

area = 4 × (1 / 2 bh)

area = 4 × 16

area = 64 ft²

Therefore,

difference in area = 64 ft² - 16 ft²

difference in area = 48 ft²

Therefore, if the the triangle is increased to twice the base and the height the size will  increase by 48 ft²
