Bucket A started with 8 cups of water and is leaking at a rate of 2.5 cups per minute. Bucket B started with 5 cups and is leaking at a rate of 0.5 cup per minute. How many minutes will it take for the two buckets to have the same amount of water?

2/3 min

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as equations

so 8-2.5x=5-0.5x

We isolate x by subtracting both sides by 5

3-2.5x=0.5x

add 2.5x to both sides

3=2x

divide both sides by 2

x=2/3min

the surface area is 124cm²

step-by-step explanation:

length: 4cm

width: 9cm

height:   2cm

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7
