The Tran family and the Green family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler was 40L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1900L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours

Green's  family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hours for which Tran family's sprinkler used is x hours

water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler = 35L per hour

water output from  Tran family's sprinkler in x hours = 35*x L = 35x

Let the hours for which Green family's sprinkler used is y hours

water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler = 40L per hour

water output from  Green family's sprinkler in x hours = 40*y L = 40y

Given

The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours

thus

x + y = 50 equation 1

y = 50-x

total water output of 1900L

35x+40y = 1900  equation 1

using  y = 50-x in equation 2, we have

35x + 40(50-x) = 1900

35x + 2000 - 40x = 1900

=> -5x = 1900 - 2000 = -100

=> x = -100/-5 = 20

y = 50-20 = 30

Thus,

Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours

Green's  family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
