A tank of water holding 528 kL of water begins to empty at a rate of 10 kL/min. At the same time, another tank, which is empty, begins to fill at a rate of 14 kL/min. Let k represent the number of kiloliters of water and let t represent time in minutes. The system models this situation. How long will it take for the tanks to hold equal amounts of water, and how much water will that be? k = 528 – 10t k = 14t It will take minutes__ for both tanks to hold equal amounts of water. They will each hold__ kiloliters. @iGreen
Just solve 528 - 10t = 14t: 528 - 10t = 14t Add 10t to both sides: 528 = 24t Divide 24 to both sides: What's 528 / 24?
22. 528/24=22
@Rosabearof10 I was asking @NunChuckBoy3101
dont give me the answer i am trying to get help not the answer
sorry.
i need a challenge so i can get it
What's 528 / 24? @NunChuckBoy3101
but its ok @iGreen i already know the answer now so whats next
22
I was just trying to help. Sorry, i will leave u alone.
Okay. You put 22 in the first blank. That's how much time it takes for both equations to reach the same amount. Next we plug 22 into the second equation: k = 14t k = 14(22) What's 14 * 22? @NunChuckBoy3101
@Rosabearof10 I know you're trying to help, but you're not supposed to give out answers.
goodbye. -just helping-
no its ok i know just explain the problem then make them work it out don't just give them the answer
^^
But is this what open study is for?
14*22=308
Yes! So that's what we put in our 2nd blank..it's the amount of water both equations hold.
there are free tutors on here that help you get what subject that you need help in
what do you mean @iGreen
@iGreen what do you mean
Huh..? First blank = 22 2nd blank = 308 That means: It will take minutes 22 for both tanks to hold equal amounts of water. They will each hold 308 kiloliters.
oh ok thanks
