The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used
Answer:
Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W = hours of use by Lewis family
65 - W = hours of use by Perry family
Then;
15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850
15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850
(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600
-25W = −750
W = 750/25 = 30
Therefore;
W = 30
65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35
Hence,
Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.
Answer:9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:The value of x is 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8=4/x use cross product.
5x=32 divide both sides by 5
x = 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x+2)^2 + 4x^2 = (3x+4)^2
(x+2)(x+2)+ 4x^2= (3x+4)(3x+4)
x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 + 4x^2 = 9x^2 + 12x + 12 x + 16
5x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16
-4x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
now we can use the quadratic formula
(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
I can't type all this so
.....
x = -0.697224362 or -4.302775638
AB can't be negative so it's the first one
so it's equals to 1.302775638
