Cant find the answer

Answer:

Carter family = 25 hours

Davis family = 31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.

So combined:

x + y = 45 hours

and we are also told that:

40x + 15y = 1300 L

So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.

With some rearranging, we can figure out that:

y= 45 - x

and by substituting that into the second equation:

40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L

25x = 1300 - 675

25x = 625

x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler

and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:

25 + y = 56

y = 31

The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.

What does x and y equal
GaryK [48]

Answer:

x=5, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation

5(3y+14)-2y=31

simplify

15y+70-2y=31

13y=-39

y=-3

now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14

x=3(-3)+14

x=-9+14

x=5
