Two pipes can fill a tank in 19 minutes if both are turned on. if only one is used, it would take 49 minutes longer for the smaller pipe to fill the tank than the larger pipe. how long will it take for the smaller pipe to fill the tank? (round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

The time taken by smaller pipe to fill the tank alone is 74.2 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The time taken by two pipes to fill tank = 19 min

Let the time taken by larger pipe to fill tank = y

And the time taken by smaller pipe to fill tank = x

According to question

The smaller pipe takes 49 minutes longer than larger pipe

I.e x = y + 49

Now,

+ =

Or, + =

Or, =

Or, 2 y + 49 =

Or, 19 × ( 2 y + 49 ) = y² + 49 y

Or, 38 y + 931 = y² + 49 y

Or, y² + 49 y - 38 y - 931 = 0

or, y² + 11 y - 931 = 0

Or, Applying quadratic equation method to calculate the value of y

so, y =

Or,  y =

Or, y =

or, y =

or, y =

∴   y = 25.2 , - 36.5

So, The time taken by larger pipe = y = 25.2 min

and the time taken by smaller pipe to fill the tank = y + 49 = 25.2 + 49 = 74.2 min

Hence The time taken by smaller pipe to fill the tank alone is 74.2 min answer

the answer is ! ?

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
