### In the lessons

In maths problems about two things happening at once (two taps fill a tank simultaneously, two trains leave simultaneously) — their rates or amounts are usually added or compared. In algebra, «simultaneous equations». In everyday life, doing two things at once. Formal; everyday words are «at the same time» or «at once».

### Note

Long word: si-mul-ta-ne-ous-ly. In maths: if two taps work simultaneously, add their rates (3 litres a minute plus 2 litres a minute = 5 litres a minute together). Things done simultaneously take the same time, not one after the other.
