Answer:
Pool A.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved through ratios. You would write it as 
So, 
for the first one, and 
for the second. You might want to use a calculator for that part, but you could also change the gallons to cups, which gives you a much better number of 10.515. So, 
, and 
So, pool A is at a faster rate. If you want it in gallons per minute, it's by 0.01 (with the 1 repeating) gallons per minute. By cups, it's 0.17525 cups per minute.
(The reason I did not do this by cross multiplying and dividing ratios is because it gives you the exact same answer if you are finding it per one, as I am here with per one minute. You can do it this way, it just wastes a bit of time.)
Answer:
5(2x-8)+15=-15
10x-40+15=-15
10x-25=-15
+25 +25 (add 25 to both sides)
____________
10x=10
divide by 10 on both sides
x=1
Answer:
x = - 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x² + 24x = 4 ( divide through by 4 )
x² + 6x = 1
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 1 + 9
(x + 3)² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
