The solution to the equations 3x - 4y=12 and 2x+y=8 are x = 4 and y = 0

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have two equations:

3x - 4y=12 and

2x+y=8

Multiplu by 4 on both side in equation  2x+y=8

8x + 4y = 32

Add the equaton 8x + 4y = 32 and 3x - 4y=12

3x - 4y=12

8x + 4y = 32

11x = 44

x = 4

Similarly, we can find the value of y:

y = 0

Thus, the solution to the equations 3x - 4y=12 and 2x+y=8 are x = 4 and y = 0

A pet store has three fish tanks, each holding a different volume of water and a different number of fish.
Bad White [126]

For each tank just divide the number of L by the number of fish to get the volume or fish.

For tank A it is 40/5=8, for tank B it is 100/12=8.3, and for tank C it is 180/23=7.8.

If you number them least to greatest, it is (tank C, tank A, tank B)
