y=3x
5.2x+9.9y=767.8
5.2x+9.9(3x)=767.8
5.2x+29.7x=767.8
34.9x=767.8
x=22
The other number could be 6. The GCF of 6 and 24 is 6, and 6 is less than 30.
Answer:
The value of x = 100 ft^3/ day
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to look at what amount of water comes in and what amount of water leaves
What comes in: x ft^3/ day
What leaves : 500x ft^3/ day
We start with 146 000 ft^3
Water in tank = what we start with + what comes in - what leaves
water in tank = 146000 + x*d - 500*d where d is the number of days
After 365 days , the tank has 0 ft^3 of water
0 = 146000 + x*365 - 500*365
Multiply
0 = 146000 + 365x - 182500
Combine like terms
0 = -36500+365x
Add 36500 to each side
36500 = 36500-36500+365x
36500 = 365x
Divide by 365
36500/365 = 365x/365
100=x
The value of x = 100
