Tap A takes 6 minutes to fill a tank and tap b takes 9 minutes to fill the same tank. Pipe C can empty the tank in 15 minutes. How long will it take to fill the tank if the pipe is in use when both taps are turned on

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  approximately 4.7368 minutes

This decimal value is the result of computing 90/19

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the LCM of 6, 9 and 15. First, list out the prime factorization of each value.

6 = 2*39 = 3*315 = 3*5

The unique prime factors are 2, 3, and 5. We have 2 show up at most once, 3 show up at most twice, and 5 show up at most once. The LCM is 2^1*3^2*5^1 = 2*9*5 = 18*5 = 90.

We'll use this LCM value to set up an example below.

---------------

Consider the tank to be 90 gallons. If we only use tap A, keep tap B closed, and don't open pipe C, then tap A fills the tank at a rate of 90/6 = 15 gallons per minute since it needs 6 minutes to completely fill the tank.

If we have tap B do all the work (keep tap A and pipe C closed), then the rate is 90/9 = 10 gallons per minute for this tap.

Keeping pipe C closed, the two taps A and B work together to have a combined rate of 15+10 = 25 gallons per minute.

Now we consider pipe C being opened. This drains the tank and can do so in 15 minutes (assume the taps A and B aren't open). If we're dealing with a full 90 gallon tank, then its rate is 90/15 = 6 gallons per minute.

The net rate is 25-6 = 19 gallons per minute. We can think of it as a tug of war where the taps A and B ultimately win out despite the fact that pipe C is draining the water. The two taps fill the tank faster than the pipe can drain the tank.

In other words, the tank ultimately gets filled up rather than drained out over the long run. That net speed is at 19 gallons per minute.

The amount of time needed is approximately 90/19 = 4.7368 minutes.

Side note: you can start with any size tank. It doesn't have to be 90 gallons. I picked on this value because it works cleanly with the original given numbers 6, 9 and 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{90}{19}[/tex] = 4.73 minutes

[tex]\frac{1}{6}x +\frac{1}{9}x - \frac{1}{15} x = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{135}{810}x +\frac{90 }{810}x - \frac{54}{810} x = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{171}{810}x = 1[/tex]

x = 4.73 minutes

11. The rectangle has a width of 8 in, a length of x-5 in, and an area of 16 in). Solve for x.
Hint: label the figure.
x-sin

Answers

Use the area of rectangle formula which is:

[tex] \displaystyle \large \tt{A = width \times length}[/tex]

Given that:

area of rectangle = 16width = 8length = x-5

Substitute in the formula:

[tex] \displaystyle \large{16 = 8 \times (x - 5)} \\ \displaystyle \large{16 = 8(x - 5)}[/tex]

Distribute 8 in the expression:

[tex] \displaystyle \large{16 = (8 \times x) + (8 \times ( - 5))} \\ \displaystyle \large{16 = 8x - 40}[/tex]

Move -40 to another side and change from -40 to 40.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{16 + 40 = 8x} \\ \displaystyle \large{56= 8x} \\ [/tex]

Then move 8 to divide 56, leaving only x.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \frac{56}{8} = x} \\ \displaystyle \large{7 = x} \\ [/tex]

Hence, the answer is:

[tex] \displaystyle \large \boxed{x = 7} \\ [/tex]

Solve for p.

−160=22+8(3p−4)

Answers

The answer to this is p=-25/4 and in other ways it’s either p=-6.25, p=-6 1/4 or p=-5/2^2

Answer:

[tex]p=-6.25[/tex] or [tex]p=\displaystyle-\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-160=22+8(3p-4)[/tex]

Our goal here is to isolate p on one side of the equation. We will do this by performing inverse operations on both sides.

Subtract 22 from both sides:

[tex]-160-22=22+8(3p-4)-22\\-182=8(3p-4)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8:

[tex]-22.75=3p-4[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides:

[tex]-22.75+4=3p-4+4\\-18.75=3p[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]-6.25=p[/tex]

You can also convert this into a fraction:

[tex]p=\displaystyle-\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,3) and has a slope
of -1/3?

Answers

The equation is y = -1/3x + 5

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] , then

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 2 = 5

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x + 5 ← equation of line

Answer:

S - a = 13.5 - 9 = 4.5 mm

s -c = 13.5 - 12 = 1.5  mm

Area = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

3(x - 5) = 30
I dont know how to solve this

Answers

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-5)=30

First, you would distribute the three to the x and the negative five.

3x-15=30

Then you would add 15 to the 15 to cancel it and to the 30 to make it even.

3x-15=30

  +15=+15=

3x=45

Finally, you would divide 3 into both sides, cancelling out the three and fiving you,

x=15

Hope this helped!

Start by distributing the 3 through the parenthses on the left side.

This gives us 3x - 15 = 30.

Now add 15 to both sides to end up with 3x = 45.

Dividing both sides by 3, we fin that x = 15.
