When two pumps are used, they can fill a tank in 60 minutes. When the first pump is used alone, the tank will be filled in 150 minutes. When x represents the time it takes the second pump to fill the tank when used alone, the situation is represented by this equation: 15 += How long would it take the second pump, working alone, to fill the tank? . OA 75 minutes B. 90 minutes Ос. 100 minutes OD 120 minutes

the answers are in the images, i received 100% on this assignment. hope this !

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
