It will take 13 minutes and 30 seconds for the tanks to have an equal amount of water.

Since Louis is filling two tanks of water in his home, and Tank A currently contains 27 gallons and has a hose filling it at a rate of 3 gallons per minute, while the other tank, Tank B, has 38 gallons and is being filled at a rate of 2 gallons per minute, to determine how many minutes will it take for the tanks to have an equal amount of water, the following calculation must be made:

27/3 = 9
27/2 = 13.5
13.5 = 13 minutes 30 seconds

Therefore, it will take 13 minutes and 30 seconds for the tanks to have an equal amount of water.

A rectangular Corn Hole area at the Recreation Center has a width of 5 feet and a length of 10 feet. If

inysia [295]

Answer:

2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the uniform amount added to each side

we know that

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

$(5+x)(10+x)=84$

solve for x

Apply distributive property

$50+ 5x+10x+x^2=84\\x^2+15x-34=0$

solve the quadratic c equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^2+15x-34=0$

so

$a=1\\b=15\\c=-34$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{15^{2}-4(1)(-34)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{361}} {2}$

$x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}$

$x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}=2$

$x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}=-17$

therefore

The solution is x=2 ft

Consider the following algebraic expression:--5x + 6Step 1 of 2: Identify the first term of the algebraic expression. Indicate w

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

So,

Here we have the following algebraic expression:

$-5x+6$

The first term of this expression is -5x.

This term is clearly a variable term. The variable is x and its coefficient is -5.
