Answer:
Option D.) x + 2x − 3 = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> the length of Nate's car
y ------> the length of Maya's car
we know that
x+y=26 -----> equation A
y=2x-3 ----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(2x-3)=26
3x=26+3
x=29/3 in
Find the value of y
y=2(29/3)-3
y=(58/3)-3
y= 49/3 in
3/45 = 20/x...3 in to 45 seconds = 20 in to x seconds
cross multiply
(3)(x) = (45)(20)
3x = 900
x = 900/3
x = 300...300 seconds (or 5 minutes)to fill the tub with 20 inches
