Faucet A flows at a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes and Faucet B flows at a rate of 100 liters per 4 minutes into an empty pool. How many minutes do the two faucets take to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water?

It will take both faucets 200 minutes to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the time it will take for both faucets to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water

What we need here is to have a joint rate for both faucets;

For the first faucet, we have a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes so this means in a minute;

100/5 = 20 liters per minute

For the second faucet, the per minute rate will be 100/4 = 25 liters per minute

So therefore, the joint rate will be;

25 liters per minute + 20 liters per minute = 45 liters per minute

So the time needed to fill 9,000 liters of water in a pool will be ;

9000 liters/ 45 liters per minute = 200 minutes

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
