A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5 hours faster than the first pipe and 4 hours slower than the third pipe. The time required by the first pipe is:
15?

Something like 1/(x+9)+1/(x+4) = 1/x...=> x = 6

@scrabbler(|x+2|-x)|x+2|Now since you have modulus the RHS can have +ve or negative valuex+22x>2 4xx>1 x
You can only take x to RHS and still not change the sign only if x>0

@scrabbler(|x+2|-x)

What if x is negative? Then becomes > na...since multiplying -ve on both sides...

I find equations confusing waise :(

bhai koi example ya logic se support karke batao.. aise toh kuch n ahi samajh aata hai

Are taking to RHS or LHS in a fraction is nothing but multiplying that thing on both sides..So if you nultiply "x" on both sides then sign changes for -ve x
@jain4444

Shld be 15 hrs..

Let t hr be the time required to fill the tank by 3rd Pipe alone..Hence, Time required by 2nd pipe alone is (t + 4) hr.. n Time required by 1st pipe alone is (t +9) hr..

Given, t = (1)/1/[(t +4) + (t+ 9)]

=>2t^2 + 13t = t^2 + 13t + 36

=>t= 6 hrs..

Hence, Time required by 1st Pipe alone is 6+9 = 15 hrs..

@scrabbler(|x+2|-x)|x+2|Now since you have modulus the RHS can have +ve or negative valuex+22x>2 x>1 x+24xx
|x+2|/x - 1
|x+2|
|x+2| - 3x

case 1) x > 0

x+2 -3x
-2x
x > 1 (holds true)

case 2) x

-x-2-3x
4x
x

so x>1 and x

@scrabbler @ScareCrow28 kuch fundamental mistake toh nahi kar raha mein? i tend committing mistakes inn cases mein....check karna ek baar...

@ChirpiBird thanks a lot... 😁

the point is if you take x0 means limt x-->0- while differentiation the value x

this should be -x+2
q: IN HOW MANY WAYS A REGULAR DECAGON CAN BE PAINTED BY A COLOR ?

No in your very first step you multiplied x across. For negative values of x, the sign of inequality should reverse. So need to split the x > 0 and x

Fundamental Mistake! You can't do this...because you don't know it's -ve or +ve..

ek baar aap solve karo mere wale tarike se, mujhe dekha hai...
